After proving their mettle two matches in a row, Telegu Titans extended their dominance by thrashing Dabang Delhi 45-26 in the Star Sports Pro Kabaddi League here today.
This was the third win for Telegu Titans, claiming the fourth spot in the league table. Vizag also joined U Mumba by not losing a single match in their home territory.
Celebrating the last day of the league in the city, the people of Vizag came to cheer for their home-team one last time at the Rajiv Gandhi Port Indoor Stadium.
If the Titans had the might of their terrific trio of raiders - Rahul Chaudhari, Sukesh Hegde and Deepak Niwas Hooda, the Dabang boys had their indomitable defending duo in the form of Jasmer Singh and Amit Singh.
Another interesting rattle in store was the one for the most raiding points between Rahul Chaudhari and Delhi's Surjeet Narwal, which was ultimately won by Rahul who scored 12 raid points.
Starting the proceedings, Titans got off to a good start as Rahul Chaudhari, as a raider and Rajaguru as a defender, scored two points for the home team giving the team a perfect launch pad. Even the Delhi superstar Kashiling Adake's spectacular lion's jump failed as Sukesh Hegde and Deepak Niwas Hooda pinned him down in a brilliant tackle.
But Deepak's game slipped in the 8th minute as he decided to pin down Surjeet Narwal in a rather weak tackle, giving him a crucial point.
