On Pawan Sehrawat’s performance in the PKL 11 match
In this intense PKL 11 encounter, both teams started cautiously, with early exchanges between Ashish Narwal and Narender Kandola setting the pace. The turning point came when Pawan Sehrawat, the most expensive player in PKL history, took control to inflict an ALL OUT on the Tamil Thalaivas, giving the Telugu Titans a four-point lead.
“It was a great match, I enjoyed it a lot. Honestly, for last few matches, I am focusing on enjoying the match rather than just taking the pressure of winning it, and it has been really good,” said Pawan Sehrawat.
Sachin Tanwar was quick to respond, executing a Super Raid to narrow the gap to two points. However, Pawan Sehrawat and Ashish Narwal continued to dominate, collectively racking up 10 touchpoints by halftime, with the Titans leading 20-17.
The Tamil Thalaivas fought back in the second half of this PKL 11 showdown. Sachin Tanwar reached his milestone of 1000 raid points and completed his Super 10, momentarily putting his team in the lead. An ALL-OUT by the Thalaivas evened the stakes, but Ashish Narwal kept the Titans in contention, levelling the score at 25-25.
