Bengaluru Bulls' assistant coach Jeeva Kumar reflected on their big victory against Gujarat Giants in Pro Kabaddi 2025. He also opened up on their planning to enter the top four. It was a one-sided affair as the Bulls won 54-26.
Jeeva Kumar stated that the plan was to go in with an aggressive approach. The Bengaluru Bulls lost a few close matches along the way. He highlighted having taken those defeats seriously. They planned to come back stronger, and managed to do so as well.
"We had planned to win by more points. We knew we would come down if we score less points and lost the game. So we wanted to get more points. We lost very few one-sided games. Most of our defeats were close and tie-breakers. There hasn't been much ups and downs. The team was good. We took the defeats seriously and planned, which is why we qualified," he said during the post-match press conference.
