The Jaipur Pink Panthers: In what was a clash between two top teams of Season 11 of Pro Kabaddi League (PKL), Dabang Delhi K.C. prevailed over Jaipur Pink Panthers 33-31 in Match 126 at the Badminton Hall of the Balewadi Sports Complex here on Saturday. Led by Ashu Malik’s 17th Super 10 of the season, Dabang Delhi K.C. – who have moved back to third on the points table after the win – fended off a late charge by the two-time PKL champions to continue their remarkable form.

The win added Dabang Delhi K.C. to PKL history books, having gone 14 matches without a loss in PKL 11. Ironically, they broke Jaipur Pink Panthers’ 13-match unbeaten record in a single PKL campaign (season 10). The team coached by Joginder Narwal also equalled Puneri Paltans’ 14-match unbeaten record, which was created over the 10th and 11th PKL seasons.

Both teams began on an equal footing, exchanging the points regularly. Ashu Malik was tackled by Ankush Rathee, while Arjun Deshwal got Gaurav Chhillar, after which Naveen Kumar got Arjun, and Ashu Malik got Ronak Singh. However, the tide shifted in the sixth minute as Dabang Delhi K.C. picked up key momentum.
