UP Yoddha beat Tamil Thalaivas: Pro Kabaddi PKL 8: The high-intensity first half saw both teams exchange the lead. Tamil Thalaivas, who did not have captain Surjeet Singh in the line-up, started on a positive note with their raiding duo of Ajinkya Pawar and Manjeet finding flaws in the UP defence.
But Surender Gill slowly initiated a Yoddha fightback. Pardeep Narwal soon joined him with a 3-point Super Raid in the 9th minute to shift the balance. Three Thalaivas defenders followed UP’s Shrikant Jadhav to the lobby without a touch which gave Yoddha another three points.
