Puneri Paltan's young stars helped the side beat U.P. Yoddha 44-38 in their ProKabaddi League (PKL) match here on Thursday.
Mohit Goyat picked up 14 raid points and was ably supported by Aslam Inamdar with 12, including 3 tackle points.
The victory boosted Paltan’s chances of making it to the playoffs after a jittery start to its campaign.
Surender Gill got 16 points for Yoddha but didn’t get the support he needed. The Paltan defence, too, had a stellar night, hunting down raiders in packs, with Abinesh Nadarajan and Sombir leading them.
Paltan’s young guns got them off to a flying start. Inamdar and Goyat shared the raiding duties while defender Abinesh Nadarajan was rock solid.
The result: Puneri Paltan bt U.P. Yoddha 44-38.
