Till then, this is Shivansh Gupta bidding you all good night. CIAO!
Tuesdays are no Kabaddi days so join us again on Wednesday at 7pm for two exciting games.
WELL, THAT'S ALL WE HAVE FOR YOU TODAY! Thank you for joining us.
DELHI STAYS ON TOP, 4 POINTS CLEAR OFF BENGAL WARRIORS IN SECOND.
AND BENGALURU CLIMBS UP TO 5TH WITH THREE POINTS.
NAVEEN KUMAR WITH 14 POINTS AND 17 POINTS FOR PAWAN!
FULL-TIME! THIS WAS AN UNBELIEVABLE! 'WAR OF STARS' LIVING UP TO THE BILLING!
39-39: WHAT A GAME OF KABADDI! YOU HAVE TO FEEL FOR NAVEEN HERE! HE DID ALL HE COULD AND YET, THEY END UP LEVEL! HE IS IN TEARS AFTER SCORING A SUPER-10 AND THAT IS BECAUSE AMIT SHEORAN TACKLED HIM! He had to get a point there because the game would have ended in a tie had he just run down the clock. He went in for a toe touch, but Sheoran pulled him back with an ankle hold.
39-38: PAWAN GETS A TOUCH POINT OFF VISHAL MANE!
39-37: Do-or-die raid and Mane gifts a poin too Banty.
39-36: Do-or-die raid for Delhi. Naveen comes in and is up against four men on the mat. UNBELIEVABLE STUFF FROM NAVEEN KUMAR! NOT ONLY IS HE FAST, BUT HE IS CUNNING! Gets a running hand touch off Ankit.
38-36: Ajay puts in an empty raid and Bulls call a time-out.
90 SECONDS TO GO!
38-36: THAT IS JUST BRUTE FORCE! WOW, THAT IS MONUMENTAL EFFORT FROM SKIPPER JOGINDER NARWAL! The sheer power on the grip on Sumit Singh's ankle in the left corner was simply stunning. Also, Naveen Kumar is revived.
37-36: Do-or-die raid for Delhi. Vijay comes in and he leaps back to safety after Nandal attempts a weak waist hold.
36-36: Do-or-die raid for Bulls and PAWAN IS HELD BACK BY RAVINDER PAHAL! Is that the turning point of the night? Pahal was livid with his defence there for not supporting him earlier. Had Pawan gotten through, he would have reduced Delhi to one man. VERY IMPORTANT TACKLE THERE!
35-36: HIGH-5 FOR AMIT SHEORAN! HE HOLDS NAVEEN BACK IN THE LEFT CORNER WITH A THIGH HOLD AND SHEROAN IS DELIGHTED!
35-35: PAWAN LEVELS IT UP!! HE SCORES HIS 14TH RAID POINT OF THE NIGHT, COURTESY A FAILED TACKLE FROM MANE! TELL YOU WHAT, MANE HAS ONLY TACKLED HIM TWICE TONIGHT! APART FROM THAT, PAWAN HAS GOTTEN HIM ALL NIGHT.
35-34: Pawan gets one. Vijay comes in looking for the tackle head first. He does floor Pawan, but cannot prevent him from crossing the mid-line.
13 points to Naveen and 12 to Pawan. This battle is living up to its expectations for sure.
6 minutes left on the clock
35-33: ALL-OUT! BENGALURU BULLS BRIDGES THE GAP TO TWO POINTS! Ranjit got the bonus, runs down the clock and steps into the lobby. Luckily enough for Bengaluru, no defender followed the raider into the lobby.
34-30: DELHI DOWN TO ONE MAN! HE REDUCES THE DEFICIT TO 4. FIRST, ANIL PUTS IN A DECENT DOUBLE THIGH HOLD, BUT PAWAN MANAGED TO TURN ON TIME AND PAHAL CAME IN FOR THE ASSIST, BUT WAS TOO LATE.
34-28: DELHI DOWN TO THREE AND PAWAN STILL ON THE MAT FOR THE BULLS. He gets Vijay with a touch point.
34-27: NOW, NAVEEN EXPRESS KUMAR IS ON THE BENCH! You can see how much it means to Bengaluru with the brutality with which the whole team pounced at him. Ajay with the tackle point there.
34-26: BONUS PLUS ONE ON PAWAN! SUPER-10 FOR PAWAN SEHRAWAT! He gets the bonus and then evades a weak ankle hold attempt from Joginder Narwal.
34-24: Pawan Sehrawat is back on the mat after the all-out and he makes the most of it. Gets a touch point off Vishal Mane near the baulk-line.
34-23: It continues to get worse for Bulls. Ranjit with a running hand touch on Mahender Singh.
33-23: ALL-OUT! DABANG DELHI IS RUNNING AWAY WITH THE GAME AND THIS DEFENCE IS ROARING AHEAD! BANTY GETS THE BONUS BUT FALLS PREY TO ANIL KUMAR'S THIGH HOLD-CUM BLOCK.
30-22: Naveen follows his previous raid with by dragging himself back to safety after Mahender Singh's ankle hold.
28-22: 13th raid point for Naveen and yet another example of desperation and impatience from Bengaluru. Weak ankle hold attempt on Naveen by Ankit. THIS WAY, PAWAN WILL HAVE TO STAY ON THE BENCH LONGER!
27-22: SELF-OUT POINT CONCEDED BY SAURABH NANDAL! He succumbs to high pressing from Naveen Kumar. Can't gift points like these when you are trailing.
26-22: STRANGE TACKLE FROM TWO EXPERIENCED DELHI DEFENDERS! MANE AND JOGINDER NARWAL WITH A NOTHING TACKLE ON BANTY AND THAT TOO, VERY CLOSE TO THE MID-LINE.
26-20: Do-or-die raid for Delhi. Naveen Kumar, WITH A SUCCESS RATE OF 82% IN DOD RAIDS, comes out on top again. Amit Sheoran puts in a futile ankle hold in the left corner as Naveen Kumar hops his way back to safety with a huge smile on his face.
25-20: BRILLIANT ALL-ROUND START TO THE SECOND HALF FROM DELHI! THIS TIME, JOGINDER NARWAL FROM THE LEFT CORNER WITH A BLOCK ON PAWAN SEHRAWAT!
24-20: 15TH CONSECUTIVE SUPER-10 FROM NAVEEN KUMAR. He pulls of a great dubki and finds his way past a chain tackle from Saurabh Nandal and Sumit Singh.
22-20: Pawan resumes the proceedings and he overpowers a lower body block from Vishal Mane. Smart raid there.
Pawan- 7 points despite spending one half of the first twenty on the bench. He loves the second half as his strike rate goes up to 70%
Naveen- 8 raid points from 10 raids.
AND WE ARE BACK WITH THE SECOND HALF as the NAVEEN-PAWAN BATTLE INTENSIFIES.
22-19: HALF TIME- CHANDRAN RANJIT COMMITS AN ERROR, LOOKED A BIT GRREDY THERE AND PAID THE PRICE AS HE WAS TACKLED BY AMIT SHEORAN!

22-17: Chandran Ranjit with a touch point off Ajay.
21-17: ALL-OUT! DELHI FINALLY EFFECTS THE FIRST ALL-OUT ON BENGALURU! Coming to the raid, Sumit Singh was the last man in. After getting a bonus, he was tackled by Anil Kumar.
18-16: THIS MATCH IS SWINGING LIKE A PENDULUM! NAVEEN IS FIRST FLOORED BY AN ANKLE HOLD FROM MAHENDER AND THEN, PAWAN SAW AN OPPORTUNITY TO CONTAIN HIM. However, Naveen overpowered all of them and got two touch points.
16-16: BULLS SURVIVES AGAIN1 The last man, was in to raid. Vishal Mane came in from behind and tried to tackle the raider. However, Ankit did step into the lobby before getting a touch and two defenders followed the raider into the lobby. BENGALURU REVIEWED THE CALL, CLAIMING THREE SHOULD BE SENT OUT AND NOT TWO AND THE REVIEW IS SUCCESSFUL.
15-13: NAVEEN REDUCES BENGALURU TO ONE MAN AGAIN! Naveen gets the revenge by sending Ajay out.
14-13: DELHI SURVIVES AND PAHAL MAKES A RARE ERROR! Ajay was the last man in to raid, he got the bonus and then escapes a weak tackle from Pahal.

12-11: Do-or-die raid for B'lore. Mohit Sehrawar is and he is dashed out by Vishal Mane in the left flank. BENGALURU IS STARING AT AN ALL-OUT!
11-11: FIRST DO-OR-DIE RAID OF THE MATCH IN THE 14TH MINUTE! THAT'S HOW FIERCELY-CONTESTED MATCH THIS HAS BEEN. Sumit puts in a diving ankle hold and he faulters. Delhi draws back level with this raid from C. Ranjit and Naveen Kumar is revived.
10-11: BRILLIANT YET AGAIN FROM PAHAL! AND A GREAT ASSIST FROM JOGINDER! These two experienced men in the corners are key to Delhi's defence. Pawan is off to the bench again.
Delhi reviewed it, but THE REVIEW WAS DEEMED UNSUCCESSFUL AND DELHI WILL NOW PLAY THE REST OF THE MATCH WITHOUT THE HELP OF TECHNOLOGY.
9-11: HE WAS SO AGONIZINGLY CLOSE TO CLEANING THE ENTIRE TEAM UP IN ONE RAID THERE! NAVEEN KUMAR HAD FOUR DEFENDERS ON HIM AND HE STILL MANAGED TO FIND ENOUGH ROOM AND STICK HIS HAND OUT. HOWEVER, HE COULD ONLY TOUCH THE MID-LINE AND NOT CROSS IT.
9-10: DELHI IS MATCHING FIRE WITH FIRE! BOTH THE DEFENCES ARE ON SONG TODAY! YOU EXPECT THIS TO BE A RAID FIRST BUT BOTH THE TEAMS ARE SHOWING THEIR DEFENSIVE PROWESS. Coming to the raid, Banty is floored with brute force by Ravinder Pahal, who is also known as the hawk.
8-9: GONE WITH THE WIND! FRONTAL BLOCK AND DASH FROM JUST ONE MAN! PAWAN SEHRAWAT IS OFF THE BENCH WITH A BRILLIANT SOLO TACKLE FROM VISHAL MANE!

4-7: Bonus point picked up by Naveen Kumar.
3-7: Pawan gets Pahal now, who left his upper body hanging there. Easy target for Pawan in the end. 6 of the 7 points have been scored by one man, PAWAN!
3-6: BENGALURU'S DEFENCE COMBINES TO CLOSE ALL DOORS FOR CHANDRAN RANJIT!
3-5: Sumit Singh comes in to raid and he is held back WITH SO MUCH EASY BY RAVINDER PAHAL. WHEN HE STATIONS HIMSELF LOW, YOU KNOW THAT THE DOUBLE THIGH HOLD AND BLOCK IS ON ITS WAY.
2-5: Excellent chain tackle from Amit Sheroan for Bengaluru Bulls.
2-3: Naveen Kumar picks up his first point of the match.
1-3: PAWAN SEHRAWAT GETS TWO MORE! THE RAIDER IS OFF TO A FIERCE START!

3-4: Do-or-die raid for Haryana. Kandola comes in. He tries to get the left corner, but fails and then when is floored with an ankle hold from Jaideep in the left corner, he wriggles out of the block and uses the lobby to go back. BUT HOLD ON, PATNA CHALLENGES THE CALL CLAIMING KANDOLA HAD GONE OUT OF BOUNDS BEFORE THE TOUCH. Replay shows that his left foot was on the white line and didn't cross it. You can be on the line and you're safe. This means the raider is safe and the umpire decision stands. PATNA'S REVIEW IS UNSUCCESSFUL AND IT LOSES ITS ONLY REVIEW.
