Three-time champions Patna Pirates registered their first win of VIVO Pro Kabaddi League Season 7 as they beat Telugu Titans 34-22. The defeat meant that the Titans ended their home leg on a disappointing note. Jaideep was a rock for the Patna Pirates defence and kept ‘The Baahubali’ brothers Siddharth Desai and Suraj Desai quiet throughout the match. The match was billed as a clash between the two top raiders of the league and it was “Record-breaker” Pardeep Narwal who emerged on top in that battle as he scored 7 points. Siddharth “Baahubali” Desai was sent to the bench six times by the Patna defence. The match showed that Patna Pirates aren’t totally reliant on Pardeep “Record-breaker” Narwal as the likes of Jang Kun Lee, HadiOshtorak and Mohammed Maghsoudlou are vital cogs in the Patna machine. Patna Pirates’ defence scored 16 tackle points and laid the foundation for a solid victory.
