PKL 11: Haryana Steelers beat Tamil Thalaivas for second time in Pro Kabaddi 2024
Haryana Steelers now have 61 points from 15 matches in PKL 11.
In a thrilling Pro Kabaddi 2024 (PKL 11) encounter, the Haryana Steelers showed their championship pedigree with a commanding 42-30 victory over the Tamil Thalaivas at the Noida Indoor Stadium on Friday. The Steelers’ clinical performance demonstrated why they currently top the PKL 11 league table, led by standout players Shivam Patare and Vinay, as they left the Thalaivas struggling to keep pace throughout the match.
The Haryana Steelers led the charge from the get-go as Shivam Patare and Vinay put early pressure on the Tamil Thalaivas. In their defence, Rahul Sethpal and Naveen were on top of things, as they displayed remarkable composure and sharpness to keep the Tamil Thalaivas’ raiders Sachin Tanwar and Moein Shafagi quiet throughout the first half of PKL 11.

As the first half went on, Shivam Patare and Vinay contributed steadily with raids, coupled with Shadloui’s imposing presence, as the Tamil Thalaivas failed to reach the same level. Struggling to find their rhythm, the Tamil Thalaivas majorly relied on Nitesh Kumar’s defensive brilliance. His three tackle points eclipsed Sachin’s poor performance, as he registered zero points in seven raids, with the score reading 13-10 at the end of the first half of PKL 11.
Despite closing the gap in the first half, the Tamil Thalaivas were unable to maintain the momentum as the Haryana Steelers slowly and steadily took advantage. Sachin Tanwar was tackled by Vinay in a Do-Or-Die raid, while Shivam Patare continued his form to complete 200 Raid Points in PKL 11. This was followed by a Super Raid that saw Vinay join the 100-point club in PKL 11, and soon after, Rahul Sethpal’s tackle inflicted the first ALL OUT of the match on the Tamil Thalaivas.
After the ALL OUT, the Tamil Thalaivas failed to bounce back. Rahul Sethpal completed a well-earned High 5, as the Haryana Steelers took a lead that was eventually unassailable. In what was an all-round performance by the table-toppers of PKL 11, Vinay finished with nine points, while Naveen and Shivam Patare bagged five and six points respectively. For the Tamil Thalaivas, Moein Shafagi’s Super 10 went in vain as their team suffered a 12-point loss in PKL 11.
