PKL: Haryana Steelers beat Tamil Thalaivas
Vikas Kandola was yet again the star of the show for Haryana Steelers as they beat Tamil Thalaivas 43-35 in a Pro Kabaddi League match here on Saturday.
Vikas Kandola clinched a Super 10 (13 points) for Rakesh Kumar coached Steelers who were given stiff competition by the Thalaivas in the mid-stages of the match.
Rahul Chaudhari clinched a Super 10 (10 raid points) for Thalaivas but it was yet another disjointed performance from the star-studded lineup which meant they remained at the bottom of the points table.
Tamil Thalaivas went into the match on a seven-match losing streak and, not surprisingly, it was the Haryana team who dominated the early minutes.
Kandola, ably supported by Vinay, fetched raid points for the Steelers as they closed in on an All-Out.
The error-prone Thalaivas defence gave away silly points but there was a fight in them that had been invisible in the previous matches.
The Chennai-based unit finally succumbed to an All-Out with six minutes left to .
