Pro Kabaddi League 2021 live updates: With their defenders putting up a strong show, U Mumba and UP Yoddha played out an intensely-fought 28-28 tie in a Pro Kabaddi League match here on Saturday.
Both sets of defenders, especially Yoddha’s Sumit (6 tackle points), made life difficult for the raiders as biggies Pardeep Narwal and Abhishek Singh failed to make an impact. Mumbai had a one-point lead going into the final minute but a mistake by their captain Fazel Atrachali handed Yoddha an opportunity to tie the match.
In another match, a last-second tackle by Pawan Sehrawat helped Bengaluru Bulls pull off an unlikely 34-34 tie against Telugu Titans. The Titans dominated the match with two ALL-OUTs but their inability to safeguard a lead in the final stages cost them a win.
Dabang Delhi K.C. have emerged as the team to beat even this early in the season. They have won three, shared the spoils in one of their four matches, and played highly efficient kabaddi on both sides of the mat. Delhi will look to continue their unbeaten start this season and stay at the top of the points table. On Friday, the Tamil Thalaivas ended their winless start to the campaign with a win over the Puneri Paltan. They have lost just one game this season and will be thoroughly disappointed they haven’t won three. Dabang Delhi K.C. hold a perfect 4-0 record against the Tamil Thalaivas.
