Rohit Kumar emerged master marauder, combining well with best defender Mohit Chillar to carve out a 29-27 victory for Bengaluru Bulls over Puneri Paltan in the STAR Sports ProKabaddi League season four here on Monday night. At half-time, the southern side led 10-8.
The Bulls climbed to fifth position with 13 points from four games, while the Pune squad, despite its second successive defeat, topped the table at 20 points after half a dozen outings.
Paltan went ahead after the break, leading 20-16 in the 32nd minute. Two super tackles had the Bulls drawing level at 20 and even going up 22-21.
An all out by the Paltan saw the lead change hands to 26-23 in the favour of the western side. Rohit scored a point in the last minute and with a super raid, 28 seconds from the finish turned the tables on the Paltan.
In the second match, Telugu Titans recorded its first win of the season, subduing Bengal Warriors 35-18 after leading 15-8 at half-time. Spurred by skipper Rahul Chaudhari’s 10 raid points and Sandeep Dhull’s eight tackle points in defence, the host made its intentions clear right from the outset.
Chaudhari, by far the best raider of the match, recorded his 19th super 10 of the PKL.
The Titans with this victory despatched the Warriors to the bottom of the pile.
