PKL 11: Devank Dalal shines as Patna Pirates edge past Bengal Warriorz in Pro Kabaddi 2024
Patna Pirates sit at the fourth place in the PKL 11 table with six wins in 10 matches.
Devank Dalal and Ayan Lohchab scored Super 10s in the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL 11) as the Patna Pirates secured an overwhelming 52-31 victory over the Bengal Warriorz at the Noida Indoor Stadium on Friday.
Devank’s 15 points shot him to the top of the raiders list in PKL 11, taking his tally to 115 for the season. He was ably supported by Ayan’s 11 points, Sandeep’s eight points and a High 5 from right cover defender Deepak.
The Patna Pirates started in their usual lively manner in PKL 11 as Ayan and Devank controlled the proceedings from the get-go. After taking a well-earned four-point lead, the Bengal Warriorz earned their first point of the game when Nitin Kumar got Deepak in a Do-Or-Die raid. This was the start of a potential comeback, with the two teams exchanging points.

The first big blow for the Bengal Warriorz came in the seventh minute of the PKL 11 match when the Patna Pirates inflicted the first ALL OUT of the match on the Fazel Atrachali-led team.
This unnerved the side, who were hurt by a Super Raid from Devank, who finished the first half of the PKL 11 match with seven raid points in as many raids. This ensured that the score read 24-12 in favour of the Patna Pirates as the first half came to a close.
The second half of the PKL 11 match started on a bright note for the Bengal Warriorz as their main raider Nitin Dhankar got Ankit, Arkam Shaikh, and a Bonus Point to complete a Super Raid. Despite Nitin completing his Super 10, the minor blip from the Patna Pirates was negated by Sandeep, who got Fazel Atrachali and Shreyas Umbardand in one swift move, after which Nitin was tackled by Deepak.
Devank got his eighth raid point of the night to inflict the second ALL OUT of the PKL 11 match, as the match slipped out of the hands of the Bengal Warriorz.
Devank continued his raiding forays to get Fazel Atrachali and complete another Super 10– his sixth of PKL 11. The Sultan from Iran was off his form as he took 34 minutes to score his first tackle point of the season, tackling Sandeep in a Do-Or-Die.
This effectively ended the match for the Bengal Warriorz, who were inflicted with their third ALL OUT of the PKL 11 match by Ayan and were eventually beaten by 21 points by the three-time PKL champions.
