PKL 11: Tamil Thalaivas edge past UP Yoddhas in thrilling Pro Kabaddi 2024 clash
Tamil Thalaivas had earlier lost 24-40 to UP Yoddhas in the reverse fixture in PKL 11.
The Tamil Thalaivas returned to winning ways in Pro Kabaddi 2024 (PKL 11) after a brilliant performance that helped them beat the UP Yoddhas 40-26 in Match 77 at the Noida Indoor Stadium on Tuesday. It was a well-earned victory led by the substitute Masanamuthu and his Iranian counterpart Moein Shafagi, as they made up for their loss in the previous outing between the two sides in PKL 11.
A fast start from the Tamil Thalaivas saw early points won by Narender Kandola and his four straight raid points. However, a Super Tackle by Ashu Singh set the tone for a comeback for the home team, UP Yoddhas, in this PKL 11 contest. Gagan Gowda started with a Do-or-Die raid that got Nitesh Kumar. His next successful raid also bore fruit by inflicting an ALL OUT on the Tamil Thalaivas, getting Sahil Gulia and Ronak in one brilliant raid.

This gave the UP Yoddhas a solid base to work on their lead over the Tamil Thalaivas. Despite Narender winning raid points for his team, he did not get any support from his teammates, which hurt their chances throughout the game. UP Yoddhas continued their strong momentum through to the end of the first half of this PKL 11 match, with a score difference of 17-12.
The second half began in a similar manner, with the Tamil Thalaivas struggling in the absence of Narender Kandola, who was substituted after suffering an injury towards the end of the first half. It seemed like the UP Yoddhas were running away with the win, but this was not to be as Masanamuthu entered the fray and changed the complexion of this PKL 11 match.
In the third phase of the match, Masanamuthu β who was brought on in place of Narender Kandola β came on with an unexpected Super Raid that got Ashu Singh, Sahul Kumar, and Sumit in one fell swoop. This inflicted an ALL OUT on the UP Yoddhas, as the Tamil Thalaivas turned the tide on their opponents in this thrilling PKL 11 encounter.
Iranian Moein Shafagi entered the fray for the Tamil Thalaivas, and he complimented Masanamuthu as they went on to inflict a third ALL OUT on the home team. Gagan Gowda was on form, but his teammates failed to perform, and with a final ALL OUT inflicted on the UP Yoddhas by Shafagi once again β their third of the night β the match eventually ended with a 14-point win for the Tamil Thalaivas, marking one of their best performances in PKL 11.
