Pro Kabaddi League 2017 Season 5: Five talking points from Day 41 of PKL 5

#5 Steelers super tackle their way into the match

4 super tackles was a brilliant effort in itself but it didn't help the cause much

Just like the Tamil Thalaivas in the first match, the Haryana Steelers looked down and out in the first ten minutes of the first half itself. While they didn’t come back the way Thalaivas did - through Prapanjan’s brilliant raiding, they came back in a way that one would always expect Haryana to – through their defence.

Reduced to three men four times across the half time, they succeeded in getting super tackles on all the four occasions. Eight points through four super tackles was a good way to put the opposition under pressure and make a strong come back into the competition.

But Wazir Singh’s off day hurt the Steelers as Deepak Kumar Dahiya could do only so much with his solo raiding brilliance on the night and all those super tackle efforts eventually went in vain.
