Gujarat Giants Vs. Dabang Delhi K.C
We are just 2 weeks away from the play-offs and match number 98 of Pro Kabaddi League season 9 saw Gujarat Giants try their luck against the reigning champions Dabang Delhi. Delhi’s defense needed to start well and turn the heat on and thats what they did.
The match went close and Gujarat failed to win the match by a margin of 3 points. Naveen kumar scored 11 raid points to help his side win. He received the support of Ashu Malik and Vijay Malik in the raiding department as the duo would put together 23 raid points.
The best player from Gujarat Giants’ point of view, it was Parteek Dahiya who scored a Super 10 and ended the night with 20 raid points but still was on the losing side. He was heavily let down by a terrible Gujarat defense that maintained an extremely depressing and quite unbelievable tackle success rate of 3.85%.
However, it was because of Parteek Dahiya that Gujarat had a higher raid strike rate of 97.56%.
Final score line at the end of full time was 47-50.
