PKL 12 Highlights: Patna Pirates lost to Bengaluru Bulls | Gujarat Giants beat Tamil Thalaivas

The heat is certainly turned on in Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12). The new tie-breaker for drawn games has added the excitement factor.
But this new rule hasn’t been a happy experience for the fans of Patna Pirates and Bengaluru Bulls, as both teams lost their first two games of the season. Both squads have a lot of youth, and they would expect them to deliver.
Patna will have the advantage of the experienced Maninder Singh, who has done well in the two games he has played. Both teams would want their defense to step up.
Ironically, both teams are led by corner defenders. Ankush Rathee for the Bulls and Ankit Jaglan for the Pirates are expected to rally their troops and lead from the front to get two crucial points.
Patna Pirates vs Bengaluru Bulls head-to-head:
- Matches Played– 25
- Patna Pirates – 14
- Bengaluru Bulls– 7

Saturday night will be a party in Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 12) as Arjun Deshwal, the best raider of the last four seasons, will face the best defender of this era, Mohammadreza Shadloui.
Both players have changed sides, but the rivalry remains, as Shadloui named Arjun as the toughest raider to face in his PKL career. Apart from this battle, both sides will need a win to get some momentum, as they suffered defeats in their previous matches.
Tamil Thalaivas might have the services of their former skipper Sagar Rathee, who was seen training with their teammates. Gujarat Giants are desperate for a win, and the two-time finalists would want to go on top at the end of this game.
Tamil Thalaivas vs Gujarat Giants head-to-head:
