Bengaluru Bulls continued their excellent run of form in the Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12). They clinched their third consecutive win by defeating Bengal Warriorz. The Bulls looked strong from the start and were highly determined to get a favourable result.

Alireza Mirzain emerged as the hero for the Bengaluru Bulls as he recorded his career-best figures with 18 raid points. Devank Dalal scored his 13th consecutive Super-10, but ended up on the losing side yet again.

After the match, representatives from both teams addressed the media.

On Devank’s performance

Bengal Warriorz head coach Naveen Kumar spoke about Devank’s performance and said, “Devank is an excellent raider and the team is trying to support him, but even they are not able to give their 100% and when they need Devank, even he makes mistakes, especially in super tackles.”

“Such a big raider should not be super tackled. We don’t have many big names in defence, so everyone looks up to him because he is the courage of the team, and when he gets tackled, then the team’s courage also breaks,” he added.

“Ankle holding, double chain catch, Yogesh has all defensive skills, and he genuinely plays well for the team. It is in his hands to take the team to the finals,” he added.”

Thoughts on the next game against Patna Pirates

Yogesh Dahiya shared his views on the Patna Pirates ahead of their next game and said, “Ayan and Maninder are good raiders. Maninder Bhai Sahab is quite senior. He has a lot of experience. Ayan is also a young raider; he is talented and plays with his mind. We will also come with our planning.”
