Pro Kabaddi 2023 LIVE Score, Match 99: Jaipur Pink Panthers vs Tamil Thalaivas - PKL 10 Live Updates & Commentary

FULL TIME! Jaipur Pink Panthers 42-27 Tamil Thalaivas

Jaipur Pink Panthers have clinched a commanding 15-point victory over Tamil Thalaivas! This remarkable win not only propels them back to the top spot in the standings but also secures their place in the playoffs, making them the first team to achieve this feat in PKL 10.

Arjun Deshwal, the raid machine, once again orchestrated a Super 10 with class, leaving defenders in his wake. Ajith Kumar showcased brilliant support, executing perfect running hand touches that added to the Panthers' offensive might.

The second-half resurgence of the Panthers' defense was the game-changer, with Sahul and Reza securing 4 tackle points each and Ankush contributing 3. Their combined efforts held the Thalaivas' raiding unit and paved the way for a victory.

On the Thalaivas' side, Narender emerged as the standout raider with an impressive 12 raid points. However, the lack of support and subpar defensive performance, except for Mohammadreza Kaboudrahangi's High 5, proved costly for them. Despite leading at halftime, the Thalaivas couldn't sustain their momentum.

As the curtains fall on the Patna leg, Jaipur Pink Panthers celebrate their 13th consecutive unbeaten game. Stay tuned for more kabaddi action in the Delhi leg starting this Friday. Good night, and this is Meeth Agrawal signing off!

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Meeth Agrawal, and I'm thrilled to welcome you to the 99th clash of the Pro Kabaddi League 2023, featuring the reigning champions, Jaipur Pink Panthers, locking horns with the spirited Tamil Thalaivas! As we bid farewell to the Patna leg, the anticipation for this last game is sky-high.

Oh, Jaipur! The Pink Panthers have been on an absolute fire this season, scripting history with a remarkable 12-game unbeaten run, a feat never witnessed before in the history of PKL. Their recent 28-28 draw against Bengaluru Bulls may have denied them a clear victory, courtesy of a brain-fade moment from star raider Arjun Deshwal, but it certainly doesn't overshadow their extraordinary season. A win in this encounter would not only solidify their title defense but also propel them back to the numero uno spot.

Now, turning our attention to the Tamil Thalaivas, they've undergone a spectacular resurgence after a slow start to the season. Triumphing in five of their last six games, each victory by a margin of over 15 points, the Thalaivas have found their rhythm. The defensive duo of Sagar and Sahil Gulia has been steadfast from the start, but the recent performance of Ajinkya Pawar and Narender Hooda in the raiding department has added another dimension to their arsenal. This is the perfect opportunity for Thalaivas to stamp their authority against the Panthers.

Fasten your seatbelts, and I'll be your guide through the thrilling journey that awaits us!
