Bengaluru: Dabang Delhi K.C. thrashed Gujarat Giants 41-22 in a Pro Kabaddi League game, here on Saturday.
Defenders Manjeet Chhillar and Krishan scored ‘High 5s’ for the Delhi side who moved to the top of the points table with the result.
Vijay (8 points) and Neeraj Narwal (4 points) contributed to the raiding points for Delhi who continued to be without their star raider Naveen Kumar.
Gujarat coach Manpreet Singh will have no positives to take from the result with both the defence and attack falling short.
Dabang Delhi K.C. started the match on the front foot with their much-maligned defence showing aggressive intent.
Captain Joginder Narwal was back in the left corner position and that seemed to have motivated the senior pros in the team.
Sandeep Narwal and Manjeet Chhillar looked confident in the defence along with youngster Krishan. Vijay also continued to impress in the lead raider role and picked up a 3-point Super Raid in the 7th minute to reduce the Giants on the mat.
A Super Tackle by Rakesh Narwal wasn’t enough for Giants to prevent an ALL OUT in the 11th minute.
The first half ended 22-11 with Delhi in a comfortable lead.
Delhi continued to dominate the mat after the interval. Gujarat raiders could only muster 2 raid points in the first 10 minutes as Delhi inflicted another ALL OUT to open a 16-point lead
