Puneri Paltan broke Gujarat Giants' all-time PKL record for the highest points scored by a team in a single edition of the Pro Kabaddi League. Paltan finished with 96 points in the league round of this year's PKL, which is the highest by any team.

Back in Season 6, the Gujarat Giants attained the number one position in the Zone A points table by earning 93 points from 22 matches. Puneri Paltan broke that record last night (February 22) with a two-point win against the UP Yoddhas. The victory helped Paltan take their total to 96 points from 22 games.

Jaipur Pink Panthers narrowly missed out on breaking the Gujarat Giants' record. The Pink Panthers finished second in the points table this season with 92 points in their account.

In Season 6, Gujarat Giants also managed 17 victories in 22 outings. However, they lost three matches and drew the other two, which is why they ended with 93 points to their name.
