Pro Kabaddi 2019, Patna Pirates v Haryana Steelers: 5 talking points from the match

#2 Haryana score much-needed win with all-round display

The Haryana Steelers have not had an ideal start to the Pro Kabaddi Season 7 campaign, picking up just one win and suffering three losses in their first four matches. Coach Rakesh Kumar's charges came into the match against Patna on the back of a three-match losing streak and their display will certainly give them a boost ahead of the next set of matches.

After a good start, they managed to keep the Pirates at bay and despite suffering an all-out in the last few minutes of the match, they had enough fuel in the tank to see out the threat as the match ended 35-26.

Vikas Kandola was the star of the show for the Steelers, ending with a Super 10 on the night. The defenders also got a few points in for the team with Ravi Kumar and Sunil scoring four points each and Dharmaraj Cheralathan picking up three.
