PKL 2024 Final highlights
The Pro Kabaddi League 2024 finally came to an end on Sunday, December 29, at Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Pune, where, in a close encounter, Haryana Steelers beat Patna Pirates by 9 points to secure their maiden PKL title after finishing as runners-up last season. This is the fourth time in PKL history that a team, after finishing as runners-up, went on to lift the title the next season. Before Haryana, U Mumba in season 2, Dabang Delhi in season 8, and Puneri Paltan in season 10 achieved this feat.
On the other hand, Patna failed to recreate what they did in season 5, where they became the only team to win the title from the eliminators, as they suffered their second loss in a fifth final.
In the match, Haryana Steelers took the first point as Shadloui tackled Devank and Ayan early to keep Patna in check. Patna’s defenders tried to keep up with Haryana, who ended the first quarter with a 7-5 lead. In the second quarter, Patna Pirates performed better with Ayan in the centre, but Rahul Sethpal in defence and Shivam Patare in raid kept Haryana ahead 15-12 after the first half.
Patna started the third quarter on a high, but Shadloui took control in the last few minutes to maintain Haryana’s 3-point lead, with the scoreboard reading 19-16 in Haryana’s favour. In the final 10 minutes, Haryana went all in and, with the help of in-form raiders and defenders, completely outshone Patna Pirates to win the final match 32-23.
Patna Pirates’ Devank Dalal, with 301 raid points, ended the season as the top raider, while also becoming only the fourth player after Pardeep Narwal, Pawan Sehrawat and Naveen Kumar to score 300 raid points in a season. Haryana Steelers’ Mohammadreza Shadloui, with 82 tackle points, finished the season as the top defender.
