After a disappointing setback against Puneri Paltan, our Gujarat Giants roared back to form in spectacular fashion, clinching a remarkable victory against Dabang Delhi K.C. This win served as a crucial confidence boost, setting the tone for our team's resurgence in the Pro Kabaddi League.
The clash with Dabang Delhi K.C. was a fiercely contested battle from the outset. Initially, Delhi took a 4-1 lead. However, the Giants were resilient, mounting a spirited comeback. A game-changing moment unfolded with a multi-point raid from Parteek Dahiya, resulting in an All Out that catapulted us into a 10-4 lead. Deepak Rathee, continuing his standout performance in PKL's 10th season, contributed crucial tackles. Meanwhile Sonu, emerging from the bench, added valuable raid points to the kitty. As the first half concluded, we held a significant advantage with a scoreline of 19-12.
The second half witnessed Delhi's determined efforts to narrow the gap. Skipper Ashu Malik led a commendable charge, earning four consecutive points. Yet, our resolute defense, anchored by Jitendra and Deepak, stood firm, delivering Super Tackles to extend our lead. Despite Ashu's efforts, a last-minute display of brilliance from Mohammad Nabibakhsh sealed our victory, ending Delhi's unbeaten streak of 7 games.
As we savor this triumph, our focus shifts to the upcoming challenge against Puneri Paltan in Hyderabad. Confident in our abilities, we aim to surpass the obstacles encountered in our previous encounter and emerge victorious this time.
