Pro Kabaddi 2023 LIVE Score, Match 71: Haryana Steelers vs Tamil Thalaivas - PKL 10 Live Updates and Commentary

FULL-TIME!! Haryana Steelers 36 - 31 Tamil Thalaivas

The Steelers have made it easy for themselves here! Though the Thalaivas were slowly cruising towards the points, they played it safe in the last five minutes by killing time and not taking any risk!

We did not see Narender who was a main man for Thalaivas in the mat after the first ten minutes, which is a concern for them. Though Sagar and Ajinkya pulled off a HIGH FIVE and six points respectively in their departments, the consistency in attack was lacking!!

Too many unnecessary block, ankle holds and dashes from the defenders showed the lack in coordination as well in the team. They will have to figure out so much before its too late for them to stay alive in the tournament!!

Vinay for the steelers was the show stealer of the day as he gets his SUPER 10 in style! Rahul Sethpal was ruthless in the defense well supported by Jaideep and Mohit. Both Jaideep and Rahul get their HIGH FIVEs for the day and show why there are a defensive powerhouse!

The game did not down the wire but kept us thinking if Thalaivas could make a comeback anytime! 
The Steelers move and march on the edition with a good win which would give them a lot of confidence with the coach Manpreet delighted behind!

That is all we have from the game one for the end of weekend. Switch tabs to find what is unfolding in the second game where the Patna Pirates are taking on Dabang Delhi K.C.! Until we meet again, this is Deepa R signing off! Good night!
