Gujarat Giants and Bengaluru Bulls are set to lock horns in the fourth match of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2023 edition at EKA Arena in Ahmedabad on Sunday at 9 pm IST.
The Gujarat Giants enter this match with confidence after their maiden victory over the Pawan Sehrawat-led Telugu Titans in the curtain raiser with a scoreline of 38-32. They secured 20 raid points, 10 tackle points and executed two all-outs.
A standout performance came from Sonu Jaglan, who came in as a substitute and achieved a Super 10, along with a super raid yielding five points.
The Bengaluru Bulls had a fantastic run in the league stage of the previous season, securing the third position on the points table with 13 wins, 8 losses and a tie, amassing a total of 74 points.
Their journey in the playoffs saw them eliminate Dabang Delhi in the eliminator, propelling them to the semi-finals.
However, their quest for the title was cut short by the defending champions, Jaipur Pink Panthers, who ended their campaign in the semi-final round.
Bulls armed with players such as Bharat, Vikash Kandola, Saurabh Nandal and Surjeet Singh, who has claimed 348 tackle points in 127 matches, aim to kick off their season positively.
On the other hand, the Giants, buoyed by their recent victory, are determined to secure another win.
