Pro Kabaddi 2021 continued tonight with another Triple Panga in Bengaluru. The home team Bengaluru Bulls opened their account in PKL 8 with a win against the Tamil Thalaivas, while defending champions Bengal Warriors and last season's runners-up Dabang Delhi KC continued their winning form.
The night began with a clash between former champions U Mumba and Joginder Narwal's Dabang Delhi KC. A phenomenal performance from Naveen Kumar helped the Delhi-based franchise win their second match in Pro Kabaddi 2021.
The Bengaluru Bulls then defeated Tamil Thalaivas by eight points, thanks to some brilliant performances from Pawan Kumar Sehrawat and Saurabh Nandal. The night ended with a close encounter between Bengal Warriors and Gujarat Giants, where the Warriors prevailed 31-28.
