PKL 11: Pawan Sehrawat's Telugu Titans keep playoffs hopes alive with win over Puneri Paltan

Telugu Titans are placed sixth in the PKL 11 table.

Telugu Titans had an excellent outing on the mat, as they stormed past the Puneri Paltan, to stay alive in the race for the final playoff berth in match 124 of the Pro Kabaddi 2024 (PKL 11) at the Badminton Hall in Balewadi Stadium, on Friday. The Telugu Titans won 48-36, with Pawan Sehrawat scoring 15 points, Ashish Narwal adding 11 and Ankit getting his High-5.

Pawan Sehrawat looked to give his side a quick start, as the Telugu Titans picked up an early 2-point lead. Puneri Paltan were playing catch up, and it was their defence who were leading the charge.

Young Aryavardhan Navale was matching Pawan Sehrawat raid for raid, in what was turning out to be a close match. The Telugu Titans though were doing just about enough to keep the Season 10 champions at bay, especially with Pawan Sehrawat leading the way.

Telugu Titans then landed an ALL OUT, and now led by 8 points, with 5 minutes to go. A couple of minutes later, Pawan completed his 8th Super 10 of the season, and his side were starting to dominate proceedings. At halftime, the Telugu Titans were leading 25-16.

Puneri Paltan’s Aryavardhan Navale kicked off the second half with a five-point raid, landed the ALL OUT on the Telugu Titans, and reduced the deficit to 3 points. Puneri Paltan had cranked up the intensity and were asking questions of their opponents. But the Telugu Titans responded well and held onto a 5-point lead at the half-hour mark. The contest was on a knife-edge, with both sides going to the kill.

The Telugu Titans continued to build from there, and then they scored an ALL-OUT, which made it an 11-point lead. The Puneri Paltan’s Aman then registered his High-5, in the process sending Pawan to the bench. But it was too little too late for the Puneri Paltan, as the Telugu Titans romped over the line, picking up a handsome win.
