The hosts had it easy against the Thalaivas. Bengaluru Bulls vs Tamil Thalaivas.

Pawan Kumar was just six points away from reaching 700 raid points. His 9 points were enough to land him there and take the win however, he would have or he wanted a super-10 too.

A comfortable win for the home team. Chandran Ranjit is a great signing for them as he continues to impress with seven points. The defense was held by Saurabh Nandal’s high-five while Aman, Mayur Kadam took three each.

A team with inexperience and lack of depth as it looks. Their top raider was Bhavani Rajput getting to eight points. Sagar’s four tackle points along with a super tackle got him a high-five. Surjeet Singh got three tackle points while Prapanjan could only manage triple raid points.

Tamil Thalaivas were in the game but when the time came they could not handle the pressure. Not having a superstar in their team is a fine thing but you need the whole team to give effort for success. Which is absent. Pro Kabaddi League 2021 highlights, Bengaluru Bulls vs Tamil Thalaivas.
