Pro Kabaddi League: Bharat Hooda’s nine points, coupled with Vijay Malik’s seven points, negated Mohammadreza Shadloui’s super-sub performance as Telugu Titans defeated Gujarat Giants 30-29 in a close encounter to take crucial points in Season 12 of the Pro Kabaddi League at the SMS Indoor Stadium, here on Tuesday.

The Telugu Titans fought back nicely to quell a Gujarat fightback to win by the closest of margins as they kept their hopes alive in the second leg of PKL 12.

The Telugu Titans opened the scoring in the very first raid through Vijay Malik. They quickly built on the momentum, adding two more points in the next couple of minutes to take a 3-0 lead. The Gujarat Giants finally found themselves on the scoresheet when Visvanth V produced a successful raid.
