The Telugu Titans clinch a playoff spot in the Pro Kabaddi League after a hard‑fought 40‑31 win over the Puneri Paltan. The match took place on Saturday at the Thyagaraj Indoor Stadium in New Delhi and was the 12th season of PKL.
Vijay Malik gave the Titans an early spark, scoring a Super 10 that helped his team build a commanding lead. Shubham Shinde added a second High Five of the season, including a decisive tackle that earned an all‑out for the Titans. Bharat Hooda delivered a couple of multi‑point raids, pushing the score to 26‑11 at the break—truly a fifteen‑point advantage.
Puneri Paltan fought back in the second half. Sachin Tanwar and Mohd Amaan worked together on the defense and pulled the score closer to 32‑31 at one point, but the Titans held the upper hand. While Tanwar added nine points and the Paltan’s defenders—Vaibhav Rabade, Dadaso Pujari, and Amaan—stiffened the play, they couldn’t overturn the deficit.
Malik sealed the game for the Titans with another Super 10, and Shinde capped the effort with a super tap that kept the lead intact. The final score read 40‑31, and the result guarantees the Telugu Titans a spot in the top eight and a playoff berth for the season.
With this victory, the Titans cement their status as top contenders in the 12th season of the Pro Kabaddi League, while Puneri Paltan will look to regroup in their next fixtures.
