Patna Pirates’ Mohammadreza Shadloui Chiyaneh broke the record for most tackle points (16) and most number of super tackles in a single match (eight) in the ProKabaddi League fixture against Dabang Delhi on Saturday.
His efforts came in a losing cause though, with the raiders unable to support Shadloui. Patna lost a close encounter 27-30 in the last match of the night in Hyderabad.
The Iranian left corner was left essaying a lone wolf role, with the bulk of the points his team managed coming from his efforts. With four super tackles in the first half, Shadloui, scoring 70.37 per cent of the team’s total points, brought the Pirates back in the encounter which was swinging in Delhi’s favour.
This despite Naveen Kumar still struggling to find form.
