Puneri Paltan vs Tamil Thalaivas: All time Head-to-Head record in Pro Kabaddi

Earlier in Pro Kabaddi League 11, Tamil Thalaivas defeated Puneri Paltan.

The 130th match of season 11 of the Pro Kabaddi 2024 (PKL 11) will see the defending champions Puneri Paltan take on Tamil Thalaivas. The midweek blues of the fans will be over as both teams will be ready to serve a feast with this contest after getting off to winning starts in PKL 11.

Defending champions Puneri Paltan began their season on a strong note but faltered after losing their captain and star all-rounder, Aslam Inamdar, to injury. This setback disrupted their momentum, leading to consecutive defeats. With only eight wins from 21 matches, they now find themselves in eighth place on the PKL 11 table.

Similarly, Tamil Thalaivas had a promising start but struggled to maintain consistency. Repeated losses, coupled with underwhelming performances from PKL 11’s most expensive buy, Sachin Tanwar, ultimately derailed their campaign and ended their hopes of making the playoffs.

It all started with the historic 100th game of Pro Kabaddi League season five with Thalaivas hosting Pune in Chennai. It was the visitors who had the last laugh with veterans Rajesh Mondal and Deepak Niwas Hooda taking them to victory.

The revenge was sweet for the Thalaivas as a 12-point game from legendary Ajay Thakur helped them beat the Paltan in their hometown in season six. The 2019 edition saw two tied games with Ajit Kumar and Pankaj Mohite top-scoring in both games for Thalaivas and Paltan respectively.

The second of the tied game had a scoreline of 36-36 with Tamil Nadu boy Ajith scoring 18 of them for the team. Ironically, he is with the Pune squad this season hopefully will see him in action. The post-covid season saw them share the honours with a win each. It was in season nine that all the drama started.

In the first fixture, Thalaivas were leading the game from the first raid and the Fazel Atrachali-led Pune was fighting it out. The sensation of the season, Narender produced a 6-point raid which wiped the team out. They never came back as they succumbed to a humiliating loss in their home terrain.

They wanted to give a statement and it was evident in the return fixture which was scheduled as the next game for both teams. It was again a close game with Pune winning it with Fazel being at his aggressive best. Both teams met in the semifinals in a bid to make it to their first-ever finals.

It was Pune who came out triumphing in another thriller. They continued their winning run with two wins from two games last season. Thalaivas would want to get one back which will boost their confidence sky-high for the season.
