The 39-point victory was the second biggest win in PKL history and helped the Bulls jump to the top of the points table.

Pro Kabaddi PKL 8: Bengaluru Bulls beat Dabang Delhi:There was no place in the Delhi starting 7 for Ajay Thakur despite the absence of Naveen Kumar with Vijay and Neeraj Narwal shouldering the raiding responsibilities. Delhi looked toothless in attack without the Naveen Express, but their defence managed to restrict Pawan Sehrawat’s time on the mat in the initial minutes.

But once the Bulls defenders got their act together, there was no stopping their charge. Pawan Sehrawat’s raid points and Saurabh Nandal’s tackles helped the Bulls get their first ALL OUT with 4 minutes remaining.

The second half belonged completely to the Bulls who picked up points after points from a clueless Delhi defence. Bengaluru got their third ALL OUT in the 6th minute of the half and followed it up with another in the 11th minute to open a 33-point lead.
