The Gujarat Giants had a tough start to the 11th season of the Pro Kabaddi League, struggling to find their rhythm early on. However, in the last three games, we’ve hit our stride and are looking to carry this momentum forward. Our next challenge comes in the form of the Puneri Paltan, and we know it won’t be an easy task ahead.
In our most recent match, we came out on top against the Bengal Warriorz, securing our second win of the season against them. The first win came in commanding fashion, but our latest victory, a narrow 39-37 win, was a hard-fought battle that showcased our grit and determination. Guman Singh was undoubtedly the star of the show, claiming another Super 10 and continuing his stellar form. He has been a key player for us this season, and we’re hoping for more of the same in our upcoming fixtures.
Now, we turn our focus to the Puneri Paltan. While they sit 6th on the table with 6 wins and 5 losses in their 14 games, they are far from out of form. Despite losing their last two matches, the defending champions are always a formidable side, and we are fully aware of the challenge they pose. In our last encounter, Puneri Paltan handed us a heavy 49-30 defeat, a result we haven’t forgotten. We are determined to avenge that loss and prove we are a force to be reckoned with.
On the positive side, our head-to-head record against the Paltan stands in our favor. Out of 14 encounters, we have won 8, while they have won 6. Although they’ve had the upper hand in our recent meetings, we believe we can turn things around and continue the winning streak we've built over the last few games. We’re ready to take on the Paltan and aim to keep our momentum going as we look ahead to what promises to be an exciting and competitive remainder of the season.
