This was their second consecutive win after two back-to-back defeats. The Thalaivas got their campaign back on track. They will be up against the Telugu Titans in their next clash on Friday, September 19.

In another battle between two teams from the south, the Thalaivas will be eager to make it a hat-trick of wins. They have never won the Pro Kabaddi title. Thus, they will have their eyes set on the trophy this time around.

Arjun Deshwal scores a brilliant Super 10 against the Bulls

Arjun Deshwal led from the front against the Bengaluru Bulls. The Thalaivas' skipper scored a fantastic Super 10. He notched up 13 raid points, including 11 touch points and two bonus points.

It was his fourth Super 10 of the season from five matches, highlighting his consistency. The Thalaivas splurged a massive amount for Arjun during the Pro Kabaddi 2025 auctions. They acquired his services for ₹1.405 Crore.

So far, the star raider has lived up to the high price tag, delivering match-winning performances for his side. Overall, in five games this season, he has scored 59 raid points at an average of 11.8 raid points per game and a not-out percentage of 77.45 percent. He has put in a total of 102 raids, out of which 57.84 percent have been successful raids.

Arjun Deshwal will be expected to carry this form throughout the tournament. Being the lead raider in Pawan Sehrawat's absence, his responsibilities have doubled.
