Pro Kabaddi Top Raider, Top Defender 2019: Most Raid Points, Most Tackle Points (Updated) after Tamil Thalaivas vs Patna Pirates

The third day of Pro Kabaddi 2019's Kolkata leg saw a lopsided encounter between 3-time winners, Patna Pirates and an out-of-form Tamil Thalaivas side. Pardeep Narwal shattered multiple records on a single night as Patna recorded a famous win over the Chennai-based franchise.

Earlier in the night, two-time runners-up Gujarat Fortune Giants locked horns with U.P. Yoddha and the Yoddhas made history by recording their first win over Gujarat in PKL history.

In the match between Gujarat and U.P. Yoddha, both the teams traded points in the initial phase of the encounter before the Lucknow-based franchise gained momentum and inflicted an all-out on Gujarat. Sunil Kumar's men came back into the contest like champions but ultimately, Nitesh Kumar and Co. won the match 33-26.

Shrikant Jadhav scored 6 raid points for the winning team while defender Sumit recorded a High 5. From the Gujarat side, Sachin Tanwar scored a Super 10 and captain Sunil Kumar supported him with 6 tackle points.

Next, Pardeep Narwal took the court and ran through the entire Tamil Thalaivas squad. Narwal scored 26 raid points in the match, one point more than what the 10 men, who played for Chennai in this match, could score. Narwal received good support from Jaideep who scored 7 tackle points as Patna won the match 51-25.

V. Ajith Kumar was the lone bright spot for Manjeet Chhillar's team as he fought like a lone warrior and scored 10 raid points.
