Bengaluru Bulls' assistant coach Jeeva Kumar reflected on their victory over the Tamil Thalaivas on Sunday, October 05. The Bulls edged past the Thalaivas 33-29, registering a much-needed win. It was a solid comeback after two consecutive defeats.
The Bengaluru Bulls had lost two back-to-back games in tie-breakers before their clash against the Thalaivas. However, they held their nerves this time around and successfully closed the contest.
Alireza Mirzaian scored 10 points, which included nine raid points and a tackle point. Sanjay Dhull showed his class in the defense with five tackle points. Deepak Sankar also continued his impressive run with four tackle points.
Jeeva Kumar reflected that the team had planned to keep Thalaivas captain Arjun Deshwal as quiet as possible. Arjun scored nine raid points, but it was not enough to avoid the defeat.
