Pro Kabaddi 2022 LIVE Score, Jaipur Pink Panthers vs Gujarat Giants: PKL 9 Live Updates and Commentary, Pro Kabaddi Match 19

Jaipur Pink Panthers 25-18 Gujarat Giants

Jaipur gets their third win of the season with a calculated plan upfront. Once they took the lead in the second minute, they preserved it till the very last minute and extended it slowly and steadily in the final five minutes of the game.  

The raiders had very little to say in this low scoring encounter as both the sides played in the Do-or-Die raids. Not a single 'Super Tackle,' 'Super Raid,' or 'All Out' was seen in this fixture. Rahul Chaudhari was tackled thrice while picking up five raid points while Arjun Deshwal picked only four raid points from 16 raids. 

Gujarat Giants, on the other hand, found a new rising star in the form of Parteek Dahiya who scalped six points from just nine raids while coming in the 31st minute of the game. Shankar Gadia had three tackle points to his name while Rakesh Sungroya was mostly restricted to the bench as their defenders failed to revive him in time. 

Gujarat continue to languish on the bottom half of the table but it is still early in the league and they would like to correct their mistakes as the season progresses. 

40' Parteek enters the Do-or-Die raid and initiates a 'Dubki' but fails to get his dangling hand past the mid-line in time. And, with that the referee blows his full-time whistle.

HALF-TIME!

We have an even contest so far. Both the teams saved their energy for the second half and that almost promises us an intriguing second half. Arjun Deshwal forayed forward only eight times and has only two raid points to his name. It is the 'Showman' Rahul Chaudhari who has led the pack with five points from nine raids. Defensively, Ankush has picked two tackle points for Jaipur as the team played on the Do-or-Die raids. 

Nothing much to write about Gujarat Giants either. Shankar Gadai has been the lone shining light in the back with three tackle points, including those against Rahul Chaudhari. Rakesh Sungroya has only two raid points from eight raids but was restricted to the bench for the majority of the contest. 

20' PEEP! A couple of empty raids from both the sides. Dong Geon is brought into the mat but he doesn't get an opportunity to raid as the referee blows his half-time whistle.

Hello and welcome to Sportskeeda for the live commentary of today's PKL 2022 encounter between Jaipur Pink Panthers and Gujarat Giants. This is your host Abhishek and I will be your eyes and ears for the contest. The match should start from 07:30 PM IST. 

Jaipur Pink Panthers occupy the second position in the points table with two victories from three matches. Starting their campaign with a two point loss against UP Yoddha, they steamrolled against Patna Pirates beating them 35-30 and followed it with a 44-31 win over Haryana Steelers. 

Arjun Deshwal has been their star this season with 39 raid points from three games, that included two Super 10s. Moreover, he has received sufficient support from V Ajith Kumar and Bhavani Rajput upfront. Rahul Chaudhari, too, turned back the clock in last match with six raid points and one tackle point. 

Gujarat Giants have just one win from their three matches. Starting their campaign with a 31-31 draw against Tamil Thalaivas, they suffered a mammoth 20 point defeat against defending champions Dabang Delhi KC in their next match. Courtesy of Rakesh Sungroya's 17 raidpoints in their next match, Gujarat Giants humbled Puneri Paltan 47-37 to gain some momentum in PKL 9. 

Can the Giants maraud the Pink Panthers or will the latter have the last laugh? Let's find out.
