PKL 11: Telugu Titans beat Tamil Thalaivas, Sachin Tanwar complete 1000 raid points in Pro Kabaddi history
Sachin became the eighth player to reach 1000 raid points in Pro Kabaddi League history.
The Telugu Titans managed to get their third consecutive win of the Pro Kabaddi League season 11 (PKL 11) after overcoming a nail-biting contest against the Tamil Thalaivas 35-33 in the Southern Derby. Led by Pawan Sehrawat’s 12 points and contributions from Ashish Narwal and Vijay Malik, they got over the line despite Sachin Tanwar scoring a mammoth 17 points for the Tamil Thalaivas.
It was a watchful start from both sides as Ashish Narwal and Narender Kandola exchanged early blows to get the ball rolling in the PKL 11 game. That was until the most expensive player in PKL history and the most expensive player in the auction this year took centre stage. After a tight start, it was the high-flying Pawan Sehrawat who sprang into action to inflict an ALL OUT on the Tamil Thalaivas, giving the Telugu Titans a four-point lead.

Sachin Tanwar didn’t waste much time to make his presence felt either, managing a Super Raid to close the gap for the Tamil Thalaivas to two points after the first quarter of the PKL 11 game. However, it was the duo of Pawan Sehrawat and Ashish Narwal that kept the Telugu Titans in the lead, as the two combined for 10 touchpoints in the first half, with the score at 20-17 after the first 20 minutes.
Slowly but steadily, the Tamil Thalaivas managed to claw their way back into the contest in the second half of the PKL 11 match. Sachin Tanwar reached a significant milestone of 1000 raid points and followed it up by completing his Super 10 in the PKL 11 game, giving his side a brief lead.
Despite the Tamil Thalaivas building on that momentum and inflicting an ALL-OUT, Ashish Narwal made sure that the two teams stayed neck and neck at 25 points each.
After a quiet period in the second half, the heavyweight battle between two-star raiders continued. The high-flying Pawan Sehrawat showed his class once more, scoring a Super Raid to complete his Super 10 and put the Telugu Titans back on top by 3 points.
That was before Sachin Tanwar got a two-point raid of his own, keeping his side in the hunt a high-octane PKL 11 contest.
There was no stopping the most expensive player in the PKL 11 as he completed 17 raid points that put the pressure back on the Telugu Titans. With the game coming down to the wire and only one point separating the two sides, it was Ankit who executed a superb tackle on Sachin Tanwar to seal the deal for the Telugu Titans in PKL 11.
