Four super tackles

Pro Kabaddi League: Young raiding duo of Devank Dalal and Ayan Lohchab had another night to remember as the Patna Pirates secured a massive 54-31 win over the Bengaluru Bulls in Match 64 of Season 11 of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) at the Noida Indoor Stadium here on Tuesday. Devank moved to the top of the raiders list with 131 points to his name, as his side moved to third position on the standings as well.

Four Super Tackles defined the start of the game as the Bengaluru Bulls' defenders got the better of the Patna Pirates' raiders in what many thought would be a topsy-turvy clash. The Bengaluru Bulls rode on the ability of their defenders – especially Saurabh Nandal and Sunny Sehrawat – to keep the dangerous Devank Dalal and Ayan Lohchab quiet.

However, this was not to be for too long. Devank and Ayan found their groove as the Patna Pirates inflicted the first ALL OUT of the match on the Bengaluru Bulls courtesy of a tackle by Deepak on Saurabh Nandal. This gave the three-time PKL champions some much-needed momentum as they began to race away from their opponents. At the end of the first half, the score read 20-13 in favour of the Patna Pirates.
