Match 24: Bengal Warriros vs Bengaluru Bulls

After a season that has been dominated mostly by defenders, finally the raiders had something to cheer about - courtesy of a record-breaking performance from Pawan Sehrawat of the Bengaluru Bulls and Super 10s from Maninder Singh and K Prapanjan of the Bengal Warriors.

In this battle, Pawan came up trumps for his team - scoring a mammoth 29 points, his personal best, and proved to be simply unstoppable. His feat was the third-best individual performance by a raider in Pro Kabaddi League history and also saw him cross the 400-point mark.

Interestingly, the timing and place of his performance could not have been better as he produced a Pardeep Narwal-esque performance at the Pataliputra Sports Complex in Patna, which is the hunting ground of the Pirates and an hour before had seen the home side fall prey after a rather uninspiring performance.
