PKL 2025 Final HIGHLIGHTS: Dabang Delhi beat Puneri Paltan 31-28 to lift PKL title for the 2nd time
Despite Dabang Delhi / Puneri Platan winning the season, Patna Pirates' Ayan and Navdeep were given the top raider and top defender awards, respectively
Champions of PKL Season 12 Dabang Delhi K.C.
The Thyagaraj Indoor Stadium in Delhi hosted the grand final of Pro Kabaddi League Season 12, i.e., PKL 2025, with Dabang Delhi and Puneri Paltan — the two most successful teams of the season — going toe-to-toe. Both teams were looking for their second PKL title, and it was Dabang Delhi who beat Puneri Paltan by 31-28 to achieve this feat and join Patna Pirates and Jaipur Pink Panthers as teams with multiple PKL titles. Jaginder Narwal, the coach of Dabang Delhi, also made history as he became the only person after Manpreet Singh to lift the PKL trophy both as captain and coach.
The match started with Puneri Paltan scoring the first point with the help of Aslam Inamdar, but then Dabang Delhi, with the help of raiders Neeraj Narwal and Ashu Malik, took a 6-2 lead. But Paltan, with the help of back-to-back super tackles, made a strong comeback to finish the first quarter of the match with a 6-8 points gap.
Pune scored another super tackle in the second quarter, but Dabang Delhi finally enforced the first all-out of the match on Paltan in the 15th minute to extend their lead to 14-8. Pune tried to make a comeback with Pankaj Mohite and Aditya Shinde, but Delhi, with Ajith and Neeraj, finished the first half with a 20-14 lead.
Both teams slowed things down in the second half and were playing on do-or-die raids. Defence from both sides was successful, which helped Delhi keep their lead intact in the all-important final. Pune, with some defensive efforts, tried to close the gap with Delhi, but the latter’s defence combined with their own offence to end the third quarter still in a 24-18 lead.
Pune, in the fourth and final quarter, with the help of Md. Aman in defence, reduced Delhi to three players, but Dabang Delhi, with a super tackle, managed to keep themselves in a 27-21 lead with five minutes left in the match. But Puneri Paltan enforced the first all-out on Dabang Delhi in the 37th minute to reduce the points gap to just three. Aditya Shinde tried his best, but Fazel Atrachali, with a crucial last-minute tackle, helped Dabang Delhi beat Puneri Paltan by three points to secure their second PKL title.
