Dabang Delhi K.c. Vs Patna Pirates 19 November 2022

From Manjeet Chillar to Fazal Atrachali, we have seen some breathtaking performances from the defenders in the past but nothing really matches or comes close to what we witnessed today. Take a bow, Shadloui as this is the greatest individual performance ever from the defender in the history of PKL. Well, we have a lot of time to catch our breath after witnessing Shadloui's madness. It's time now to end the coverage as this is Pragadeesh saying goodbye and goodnight

FT: Dabang Delhi 30-27 Patna Pirates

It was a performance for the ages from Shadloui. No defender in the pro-kabaddi history has picked up 16 tackle points in a single game. Delhi had a chance to inflict an all-out in under 10 minutes, but Shadloui kept the Pirates in the contest with stunning super tackles. Patna's raiders really struggled tonight as they picked up just six raid points.

Delhi's raiders tried their best to take Shadloui out but were unsuccessful in their attempt until the 33rd minute of the match. It was a self-out from Shadloui as he goes out of the line before the touch as Delhi cleaned the Pirates out to take the lead.

Sachin's absence was felt when Delhi's defense tackled Rohit Gulia and the other raiders non-stop throughout the match. Shadloui took some vital raid points at the back end before he ran himself out of the lobby without a touch. That turned out to be the final nail in the coffin
