Right that's all that we have for you from today's encounters! Join us back tomorrow right here at Sportskeeda as we take you through the match between Pune and Jaipur, and Mighty Maninder in action in the second game. Until tomorrow then, this is me, Maanas Upadhyay, bidding you adieu! Good night! 
The Giants have done it! They have collected two wins on the trot in front of their home crowd and it is Super-Sub Sonu Jaglan who has turned the tide in their favour once again! Starting the half trailing by six points, the Giants had plenty of work to do and courtesy of some stupendous Super Tackles, they have gone past the finish line. Sonu finishes with 12 points, while Rakesh's raid to prevent the all-out and super tackle in the very next raid ensured that they got into the lead by two points after being 28-30 down. Nerves of steel from the Giants and the Bulls will surely be regretting squandering this match from a winning position. 
Do-or-die raid for the Giants and Sonu runs down the clock. Does not attempt for any point and goes back into the half. One point awarded to the Bulls and it the Giants take home the game! 
SUPER TACKLE! One more Super Tackle and this should be the final nail in the coffin! Neeraj Narwal is surprised by Sonu's surprise ankle hold from the right-in position. The other two defenders pile upon him in a flash and the Giants have a four point lead! 
SUPER TACKLE! RAKESH DOES IT! Bharat runs into the double ankle hold of Rakesh in the left corner and the other defender runs around in a flash for assistance. The Giants are back in the lead by the barest of margins! 
AND IT GOES DOWN JUST HOW RAM MEHER SINGH SAID! Rakesh is granted the bonus and following that, Surjeet comes in for an ankle hold. Rakesh pushes him aside and escapes! 
TIMEOUT called by Bulls! "Agar lona diya, toh jeet jayenge (if you get an all out here, we will win the match)" says Randhir Singh Sehrawat. On the other hand, Ram Meher Singh has told Rakesh to target Surjeet. "Aise situations mein jo points laate hai wohi hero bante hai (those who get points in such situations, they are the real heroes)" is what Ram Meher Singh had told Rakesh. 
Whew! What has happened there? Bharat went in with only two defenders and claims a touch on Fazel. However, Fazel is confident that Bharat had stepped into the lobby before getting in the touch. 

Gujarat Giants review! Bharat has not stepped into the lobby without a touch and Fazel was wrong on that occasion. Was a review taken out of desperation more than anything else. The Giants are down to one man! 
The right corner defender Sombir ends up stepping beyond the end-line. Self-out there and Bharat's exerted pressure brings about dividends. A bonus is picked up by the Giants' raider. 
The Bulls are back in the lead! Nabibakhsh comes in for a raid but Neeraj Narwal puts in a surprise double thigh hold. The rest of the defense piles upon him. 
Bharat runs around, picks up pace and gets in a running hand touch on the right-in defender. 
Sonu goes down! Aman puts in a strong ankle hold following which Saurabh Nandal runs around and complete the tackle. 
Sourav Gulia from the right cover attempts a double ankle hold on Bharat but the lanky raider tumbles and stretches his hand to cross the mid-line comfortably. 
Do-or-die raid for the Giants now and Sonu strikes! The right cover runs in for a dash but Sonu changes his direction and escapes to the mid-line. 
Do-or-die raid for the Bulls and Vikash Kandola comes in for it. He entices Arkam Shaikh into coming for a dash but pushes him aside and uses the lobby to escape. 
Sonu strikes once again! Picks up pace and gets in a running hand touch on Surjeet! The Giants are up by three now! 
Bharat is tackled once again! He runs straight into the chain led by Sombir in the right corner and Bharat had no chance of escaping. 
ALL OUT! A surrender raid as Surjeet gives the raider his point without much ado. The Giants in the lead! 
Fazel tackles his former U Mumba teammate Abhishek Singh! Puts in an ankle hold and brings about his downfall. 
Vishal goes back now as he goes for the ankle hold too early on Sonu, who tumbles and drags himself back to the mid-line. 
Do-or-die raid for the Bulls and Vikash Kandola perishes! Ends up going too deep in the right side and it is Arkam Shaikh once again who runs around and puts in a block to stop Vikash in his tracks. 
SUPER TACKLE! Nabibakhsh is pinned down! The left-corner chain runs around and it is Vishal who makes first contact! A solid tackle as the rest of the defenders pounce on him in a flash. That'll give the Bulls some breathing room. 
Bharat is pinned down! The covers run around in a chain and Arkam Shaikh puts in a block. The other defender holds his ankles and pulls him back. A terrific tackle and Bharat goes back! 
SONU STRIKES! And he's looking to change the game once again! SUPER RAID! The right side of the defense ran across with a chain to block Sonu, who powers through to the mid-line. Pushes one defender over the mid-line and crosses the line. Neeraj Narwal and Saurabh Nandal are out but Aman has been given out as well! 

Bengaluru Bulls review! They believe Aman was not out but replays show that Aman had clearly gotten a touch on Sonu at one point. Review unsuccessful! Super Raid stands! 
Vikash picks up speed, unsettles the defense and gets in a hand touch on Nabibakhsh in the left-in position. 
"Match win, no problem!" is what the Giants' coach Ram Meher Singh has told his boys! 
Gujarat Giants stay in the game courtesy of their super tackles, but it is the Bulls who continue being the lead. They raced off to a 5-0 lead initially but the Giants staged a good comeback to level the score. From there on, the Bulls kept taking the lead but it was wiped out by the Giants. An all-out inflicted by the Bulls in the second half of this half gave them a lead which they capitalised on. Vikash Kandola and Neeraj Narwal are doing the damage whereas Bharat is yet to get into his own. The Giants raiders need to start picking up points here. Their defense is delivering but the raiding needs to step up. Who will seize the second half and emerge on top? Stick around to find out! 
Bharat from the left-in position puts in an ankle hold and the covers run around for assistance in a flash. Following this, Sombir's ankle hold is to no avail as Vikash Kandola writhes his foot free and escapes. 
The Giants' raider picks up a point, sending back Saurabh Nandal. Rohit with the point there! 
Neeraj Narwal picks up a point! Arkam runs around with a late dash but Neeraj uses the lobby well to return to his half. 
Surjeet runs around with a powerful dash and Sonu had absolutely no chance of going anywhere but the bench. Surjeet bringing all his experience to the fore. 
Do-or-die raid for the Bulls and Bharat is tackled! Arkam Shaikh runs around with a dash and he connects well, sending Bharat spiralling out. However, Bharat has picked up a bonus. 
Rohit picks up a point as he uses the lobby well and negotiates the attempted dash to return.

ALL OUT! Parteek Dahiya is substituted in and he perishes! Is allowed to pick the bonus following which, he runs straight into Surjeet's block! The Bulls are back into the lead! 
A bonus point picked up by Rohit. And Vikash Kandola answers in style!  VIKASH TAKE A BOW! Goes deep in the left side of the defense, forcing the chain of defenders to come around. Vikash pushes aside the incoming defenders and runs around them to return to the midline. But was there a touch on Arkam there? 

However, Gujarat Giants review! There are confident that there was no touch on Arkam Shaikh. Review successful! Arkam Shaikh survives! Only two points to the Bulls. 
SUPER TACKLE! OH WOW! Bharat is brought down once again! Bharat was trying to corner both defenders on one side. Sombir gets a grip on Bharat's left hand and wraps his legs around the raider. The other defender runs around in a flash and Bharat is pinned down! 
Aman puts in a solid ankle hold on Sonu and the raider immediately surrenders. 
Bharat ventures deep and puts in a hand touch on Fazel in the left corner. 
SUPER TACKLE! Neeraj Narwal tries to leap over Sombir's attempted double thigh hold. Sombir gets a hold on his ankles and the other two defenders run around for assistance to pull the raider back in. 
Do-or-die for the Giants now and Rakesh perishes! Rakesh ends up stepping into the lobby before a touch as he sees the defense coming around for a dash. He is pinned down but is self-out in the end. 
Do-or-die raider for the Bulls and Vikash Kandola comes in for it. He has a 60% strike rate in do-or-die raids and he strikes! Nabibakhsh attempts an unnecessary surprise double thigh hold from the left-in position but Kandola makes it back with three seconds to spare! 
Sonu is making an instant impact once again! Escapes from the ankle hold of Aman and gets another player on his way back to the mid-line. Was quite an advance tackle and was not needed by the Bulls. They have squandered their lead. 
Points on the board for Giants! Sonu picks up a bonus point following which Nabibakhsh executes a SUPER TACKLE on Bharat! He puts in an ankle hold and Sonu is around in a flash! 
Arkam Shaikh comes around for a dash but Bharat carries the defender along with him and finishes past the mid-line. Giants staring at an all-out here. 
The Bulls are off to a flier here! Vishal from the covers runs around and along with Vikash Kandola, the duo dash Sourav Gulia out of bounds. 
Rakesh is brought down straightaway! A back-hold from Aman and Rakesh had absolutely nowhere to go. And the Bulls add to the tally! Fazel's back-hold is to no avail as Neeraj Narwal escapes to the mid-line with ease, after having connected with a kick on Nabibakhsh in the left-in.

Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda's live coverage of the Pro Kabaddi League, 2023. The fourth match of the tournament will witness home team Gujarat Giants take on the Bengaluru Bulls at the Arena by Transstadia, Ahmedabad. 

Gujarat Giants will be mighty pleased after their win yesterday to get off the mark in the points table. They had the crowd behind them at all times and will be willing to make it two-in-two as they go up against the Bulls this time. Sonu emerged as a star as his five-point super raid changed the complexion of the match completely. Rakesh Sungroya and Parteek Dahiya will be looking forward to making a mark today. In their defense, Md. Nabibakhsh played a huge part yesterday and will be looking to continue that. He had a dismal season nine and will be aiming to make amends at the Giants this season. 

The Bengaluru Bulls bear a different look this time around, whether it be their jersey or their squad. They used their FBM Card on Vikash Kandola and will see him be paired up with Bharat. In Neeraj Narwal, Monu and Abhishek Singh, the Bulls have three decent options for their third raider. 

They have added veteran cover defender Surjeet Singh to their ranks, which bolsters a defense unit boasting of Aman and Saurabh Nandal. Overall, the Bulls have got quite a balanced squad and will be looking to get off the mark in grand style in this contest. They have a problem of plenty and will be interesting to see which players make the cut in their starting seven. 

We are in for a cracker of a contest and it promises to be an absolute edge-of-the-seat thriller! Sit back, relax and enjoy as I, Maanas Upadhyay, take you through all that unfolds over the course of this contest!
