PKL 2025 September 2 matches highlights
The Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2025 will continued with day 5 action at the Rajiv Gandhi Indoor Stadium in Vizag with two more exciting matches on the card. In the first match of the night, Dabang Delhi thrashed Bengaluru Bulls by 41-34. The two-time PKL champions Jaipur Pink Panthers then beat three-time PKL champions Patna Pirates 39-36 in the second match of the day to also start their season with a win.
Match 1: Dabang Delhi vs Bengaluru Bulls
Dabang Delhi K.C. delivered a commanding performance to defeat Bengaluru Bulls 41-34 in their Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 clash at the Vishwanadh Sports Club in Vizag on Tuesday. Star raider Ashu Malik led the charge with 15 points, supported by Neeraj Narwal’s seven, while veterans Surjeet Singh, Fazel Atrachali and Saurabh Nandal ensured a solid defensive display.
Delhi dominated from the outset, racing to a 13-5 lead after inflicting the first all-out with Surjeet’s strong tackle on Alireza Mirzaian. Ashu Malik’s brilliance included a stunning Super Raid that dismissed three Bulls in one move, setting the tone for the night. By halftime, Delhi held a comfortable 21-11 advantage, with Ashu already securing a Super 10.
The second half followed a similar script as Delhi extended their lead to 34-17 at the 30-minute mark. A second all-out, enforced after another decisive tackle on Alireza, all but sealed the contest for the defending champions. While Naveen and Neeraj Narwal contributed in attack, Delhi’s experienced defensive unit kept Bengaluru under pressure.
For the Bulls, Iranian raider Alireza Mirzaian’s Super 10 was the only major highlight, while Aashish added a few raid points. The late introduction of substitutes Ganesha Hanamantagol and Jitender Yadav briefly sparked a fightback. Bengaluru staged a late rally with a super tackle on Ashu and a final all-out, but it was too little, too late.
With this win, Dabang Delhi underlined their credentials as title contenders, while Bengaluru Bulls were left to rue a slow start that proved decisive.
Match 2: Jaipur Pink Panthers vs Patna Pirates
Jaipur Pink Panthers edged out Patna Pirates 39-36 in a thrilling Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 clash at the Vishwanadh Sports Club in Vizag on Tuesday. Nitin Kumar Dhankar led the way with 13 raid points, while Iranian raider Ali Samadi Choubtarash impressed on debut with eight. For the Pirates, Maninder Singh registered 15 raid points and Sudhakar Maruthamuthu contributed nine in a losing cause.
The match began evenly, with Maninder opening the scoring for Patna before Jaipur’s Ronak Singh responded with a tackle. Nitin Dhankar soon stamped his authority in attack, while Nitin Rawal, Ronak Singh and Reza Mirbagheri provided defensive support. Their efforts paid off when Reza’s tackle helped inflict the first all-out on Patna, giving Jaipur a five-point cushion. Despite Maninder’s late raids, the Panthers maintained control to lead 21-16 at halftime.
The second half saw Nitin complete his Super 10 as he continued to torment the Pirates’ defence. Although he was eventually stopped on his 17th raid attempt, Jaipur kept their advantage intact. Patna, however, refused to bow out quietly. Maninder Singh notched his own Super 10, with Ayan Lohchab and Sudhakar providing strong support to keep the game alive.
Ali Samadi’s quick raids extended Jaipur’s lead to six points in the closing stages, but Maninder once again dragged the Pirates back with a two-point raid. The three-time champions pushed hard in the final minutes, yet Nitin and Samadi’s composure ensured Jaipur sealed a narrow but deserved win.
