PKL 2025 Qualifier 2 highlights
The Thyagaraj Indoor Stadium in Delhi hosted the penultimate match of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2025 today, i.e., the Qualifier 2 match between Puneri Paltan and Telugu Titans. Puneri Paltan, in a high-intensity Qualifier 2 match, beat Telugu Titans by 7 points to book the final date with Dabang Delhi. Telugu Titans made a strong start but Paltan fought back hard in the later half to secure the win.
The match started with Telugu Titans enforcing an all-out on Puneri Paltan in just four minutes to take a 10-2 lead. But soon Puneri Paltan picked up the pace and reduced the point gap to 7-13 by the end of the first quarter.
Puneri Paltan continued their resurgence and enforced an all-out on Telugu Titans to reduce the point gap further to 16-12. But Bharat Hooda continued to take points after that and extended Titans’ lead to 19-12 with five minutes left in the first half. Akash Shinde then took centre stage for Puneri Paltan and reduced the gap with Titans to 20-24 by the end of the first half.
Telugu Titans were left with just one player after the first half and Paltan made no mistake in enforcing an early all-out to reduce the point gap to just two. Aditya Shinde continued to take points for Paltan but Bharat Hooda continued to level him out. However, Aditya eventually moved ahead and helped Paltan finish the third quarter with a 33-32 lead.
Pune pushed Titans for another all-out but Shankar Gadai, with a brilliant wrist-hold super tackle, put Titans back in a 35-33 lead. But three minutes later, Paltan finally enforced yet another all-out on Telugu Titans to get back in a 38-37 lead. Aditya Shinde then, in the 36th minute, secured a four-point super raid to put Paltan in a huge five-point lead. Titans tried hard but were unable to close the gap as Puneri Paltan finally won the game 50-45.
