Pro Kabaddi 2017, Bengal Warriors vs Tamil Thalaivas highlightsIn the 92nd match of Pro Kabaddi League season 5, the in-form Bengal Warriors is now taking on the out of sorts Tamil Thalaivas. On one hand, Bengal has been in a stupendous form, winning 4 out of its last 5 matches, Tamil Thalaivas have lost 4 of their last five matches. The Warriors are certain to qualify for the playoffs after 17 games but Tamil Thalaivas have played least number of matches in Zone B (11). They have managed to win just 2 matches in season 5 so far and need an extraordinary performance to qualify from here. The Warriors are one cohesive unit, every single player knows exactly their role in the squad and they carry out their responsibilities with precision and confidence. Only an exceptional performance from defence will be able to keep their raiders away from running a riot in Thalaivas’ court. Confidence is key at this stage of the competition.
