Pro Kabbadi League: Bengaluru Bulls bulldoze Telugu Titans

Riding on a good show by captain Manjeet Chillar and Ajay Thakur, the Bengaluru Bulls put up an impressive performance to beat the Telugu Titans 35-21 in their Pro Kabaddi League encounter at the Pataliputra Stadium in Patna on Friday.

The raider duo combined to notch up nine points respetively to see the Bulls register their fifth victory of the campaign.

With the win, the Bulls see themselves third in the league table with 25 points a point behind the Titans.

It was a close tussle for supremacy in the first half with the Bulls going into the interval with a 12-9 lead.

It was substitute Rakesh Narwal who came to the fore in the second half. A move that saw Deepak Nivas tagged out saw Bengaluru extend their lead to 15-10.

The Bulls defence of Dharmaraj Cheralathan and Gurpreet Singh, the latter replacing Joginder Narwal, manned the corners admirably.

With Cheralathan and Singh holding strong, the Titans weren't able to stage a comeback.

Lying in second spot, the Titans can now take heart that their next four games will be in front of their home fans as they begin their domestic leg in Hyderabad.
