Pro Kabaddi League: Despite the absence of star player and skipper Pawan Sehrawat, the Telugu Titans stunned the table-toppers Haryana Steelers with a massive 49-27 win in Match 61 of Season 11 of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) at the Noida Indoor Stadium here on Monday.

Stand-in skipper Vijay Malik’s eight points were important but orchestrating the win was raider Ashish Narwal, who completed his Super 10. Shankar Gadai also completed his High 5, with Sagar Sethpal – brother of Rahul Sethpal – joining his defensive partner with a High 5 as well.

The Telugu Titans romped to an early lead as they dominated the Haryana Steelers in the early exchanges of the match. In the absence of their skipper Pawan Sehrawat, Ashish Narwal took charge of the raiding department, while a combined defensive performance inflicted an early All Out on the Haryana Steelers. This left the Manpreet Singh-coached side reeling as they carried a six-point deficit 10 minutes into the game.
