Bengal Warriors beat Tamil Thalaivas 35-26 in PKL

Bengal Warriors produced a clinical performance to defeat the experienced Tamil Thalaivas 35-26 in a Pro Kabaddi League Season 7 match here on Thursday.

K Parapanjan's Super 10 (10 raid points), ably supported by Maninder Singh's nine raid points, was the difference for the Bengal side who moved to second spot on the points table.

Experienced all-rounder Manjeet Chhillar returned to Thalaivas' line-up as coach E Bhaskaran made a few changes to bring more stability into the side. Shabeer Bapu was added in the starting seven to share the raiding responsibilities with Arjuna Award recipient Ajay Thakur and Rahul Chaudhari.

The Thalaivas started the match on a bright note in front of a packed stadium at the Thyagaraj Sports Complex here, with Ajay Thakur impressing in his raids and the defence not allowing Bengal raider Maninder Singh to settle down.

But K Prapanjan had other plans and his multiple two-point raids helped Bengal reduce the Tamil men on the mat to finally inflict an All-Out
