That's all the action we have for you today. Do join us tomorrow at 7:30pm for a double header night. This is Shivansh Gupta signing off, Ciao!
TITANS WILL HAVE TO WAIT A LITTLE LONGER FOR ITS FIRST WIN. THEY DID MADE MULTIPLE INROADS, but once the Bulls started accumulation multiple super-tackles, it was game over. Desai did all he could and him finding his mojo back is certainly very encouraging for the team. However, with close to no support by the others, Telugu Titans will not win any games.
Lots of positives to be taken from this game for the Bulls. First and foremost, Rohit Kumar is slowly coming back to form. Started the game with two consecutive successful raids and helped out his team very well in the defensive duties as well. Needless to say, Pawan Sehrawat ws the Bulls'leading raider, but to everyone's surprise, he played more like an all-rounder today. With 4 tackle points, he was the side's 2nd best defender. Talking bout defense, once again, it was Mahender Singh who came to the fore while protecting his side's ground. Another High5 for him.
With a total of 17 points (13 raid pts, 4 tackle pts) Pawan Sehrawat, along with Rohit Kumar (7 raid pts, 1 tacklepts ) and Mahender Singh (7 tackle pts) led the Bulls to a 47-26 victory over the Telugu Titans. Siddharth Desai amassed 11 raid points and Vishal Bhardwaj scored 6 tackle points for the Titans.
