Rohit Kumar found his rhythm against the Titans

#2 Pawan-Rohit duo blows away the Titans

Pawan Sehrawat was once again his dangerous self against the Titans, whose defence had no response to his lightning-quick raids and extraordinary strength. Given that both teams have the least tackle points for far this season, it was a battle of the raiding units that was the one to keep an eye on and the duo of Pawan and Rohit Kumar did the business for their team.

Pawan completed his Super 10 with 10 minutes to go in the game and also achieved another milestone - crossing 400 raid points in PKL history. And he achieved that with an audacious super raid where he eliminated Amit Kumar, Armaan and Abozar Mighani in one swipe. Such was his dominance that he was tackled successfully for the first time in his 14th raid.

Rohit Kumar, who had only 10 raid points in four matches so far, was imperious this time around and clinched a total of eight points in the game, which will be great news for Bulls fans.
