Pro Kabaddi action continued on January 7, 2022 with two fantastic matches in Bengaluru. The opening fixture featured the defending champions Bengal Warriors and the Vikash Kandola-led Haryana Steelers, which the Kolkata-based franchise lost 37-41.
The night ended with a clash between inaugural champions Jaipur Pink Panthers and the inconsistent Puneri Paltan outfit. Jaipur arrested their losing streak with a 31-26 win over the Pune-based franchise.
