Giants dominate Thalaivas in a commanding win

Giants delivered a statement of intent in our emphatic 42–35 triumph over the Tamil Thalaivas, a victory that saw us rise from #10 to #7 on the PKL Season 12 points table. It was a thumping performance marked by dominance, discipline, and determination, exactly the kind of resurgence our #GiantArmy has been waiting for.

Right from the start, the Giants set the tone. Himanshu Singh was simply unstoppable, picking up a sensational Super 10 in the first half itself. His precision, timing, and confidence in attack kept the Thalaivas’ defence under constant pressure. Complementing him perfectly were our defensive pillars — Ankit Dahiya and Showstopper Shadloui — both of whom registered High 5s, a testament to our rock-solid backline.

The Giants’ defence was impenetrable for most of the night, cutting off every Thalaivas raid before it could gain traction. Whether it was Shadloui’s calculated ankle holds or Ankit’s sharp tackles, the duo ensured the Thalaivas never found their rhythm. Every player contributed selflessly, embodying the true spirit of the team.

This was more than just a win, it was a statement of comeback. From being at the bottom half of the table to climbing steadily upward, the Giants are now well and truly on the road to redemption. With a three-day break before the next encounter, this victory will serve as the perfect confidence booster for what lies ahead.

Giants are back. Stronger. Sharper. Hungrier.
