Pro Kabaddi League 2017 Season 5: Five talking points from Day 12 of PKL 5

#2 Flared tempers and a no review day

Tempers flared as the game progressed

It is difficult to say what led to what on Thursday night in the game between the Jaipur Pink Panthers and Puneri Paltan. Did the lack of reviews frustrate the teams and lead to bad blood or vice versa?

Whatever may have been the reason, there is no denying the fact that the match wasn’t played in the best of spirit. Each and every raider was welcomed with jibes and taunts, necessitating referee intervention on multiple occasions.

Even referee decisions were met with explicit protests. With the reviews squandered by both the teams early on, the players did little to hide their emotions. The celebrations got wilder and more animated with every passing minute. The end result - a whopping three green cards.
