Pro Kabaddi League 2017 Season 5: 5 talking points from Day 72 of PKL 5

4. Nilesh Salunke Catches Warriors By Surprise

Nilesh Salunke

The Titans counter attacked on the back of a smartly-improvised two-point raid by Nilesh Salunke. That little stunt caught Bengal’s defence napping and sent them reeling. Hyderabad went on to inflict an All-Out of their own on Bengal shortly before the half-time interval to reduce the deficit to 18-16. As a result of the tie, the Bengal Warriors are still sitting pretty on top of Zone B.

But on the other end of the scale, the Titans are 5 points behind the Bengaluru Bulls for a playoffs position. Unfortunately, Telugu Titans have run out of matches, and do not even have a remote chance of qualifying.
