PKL 11: Jaipur Pink Panthers claim thrilling win over Gujarat Giants in Pro Kabaddi 2024

Gujarat Giants currently sit at the 12 the place in the PKL 11 points table.

The Jaipur Pink Panthers delivered a superb team performance in the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL 11) to get over the line against the Gujarat Giants with a scoreline of 32-24 at the Noida Indoor Stadium on Friday.

The raiding trio of Arjun Deshwal, Neeraj Narwal, and Shrikant Jadhav, combined with Reza Mirbagheri’s defensive prowess, secured the win for the two-time champions, despite a Super 10 from Gujarat Giants’ Guman Singh. The Jaipur Pink Panthers’ captain, Arjun Deshwal, who scored 9 points in the game, also became the third raider to breach the 100-point mark so far in PKL 11.

It was an intriguing start to the game as the Jaipur Pink Panthers and Gujarat Giants were fairly cautious to begin this PKL 11 contest. It was the two captains, Arjun Deshwal and Guman Singh, who were going toe-to-toe in the early exchanges. In an evenly matched contest, it was Guman Singh’s Do-or-Die Raid that kept the score at seven points each after the first quarter of the game.
