The Pro Kabaddi League 2025 witnessed one of its most commanding performances of the season as Puneri Paltan overpowered Gujarat Giants with a mammoth 22-point victory. With a blend of defensive brilliance and attacking firepower, the Pune-based franchise stamped its authority on the mat, leaving the Giants with no answers.

From the very first whistle, Puneri Paltan showcased intent and aggression. Their raiders struck with precision, while the defenders executed flawless tackles, creating an unbridgeable gap in the scoreline. By halftime, Paltan had already taken a double-digit lead, putting Gujarat under immense pressure.

The second half turned into a spectacle of control as Pune’s tactical discipline ensured that the Giants had no chance to stage a comeback. The final whistle confirmed what the crowd had already sensed—a one-sided contest that ended in a massive 22-point margin, highlighting Paltan’s strength as one of the title contenders this season.

The raiding department, led by star raiders like Mohit Goyat and Aslam Inamdar, consistently breached the Gujarat defense.

The defense unit, spearheaded by Fazel Atrachali and Abinesh Nadarajan, proved to be immovable.

Their timely dashes, ankle holds, and chain tackles restricted Gujarat’s top raiders to minimal points.

The team displayed remarkable balance—where both attack and defense contributed equally.

Puneri’s bench strength also impressed, with substitute players making crucial contributions in the final quarter.

For the Gujarat Giants, the night was one to forget. Their raiding unit failed to break through Pune’s rock-solid defense, while defensive lapses allowed the Paltan raiders to dominate. Even experienced campaigners like Parteek Dahiya and Rakesh Sangroya struggled to make an impact.

The lack of coordination in Gujarat’s defense and repeated unforced errors only widened the gap. By the final minutes, their focus had shifted from chasing victory to minimizing damage—a reflection of how thoroughly Puneri Paltan controlled the contest.

With this commanding 22-point win, Puneri Paltan has:

Boosted its points table position and strengthened playoff qualification chances.

Sent a clear message to other contenders about its depth, balance, and hunger for the title.

Improved its score difference significantly, which could prove crucial in the later stages of the tournament.

Fans have already started hailing this performance as one of the best all-round team displays of the Pro Kabaddi 2025 season so far.

Puneri Paltan will look to carry this momentum into their next fixtures, with eyes firmly set on the Pro Kabaddi League trophy. For Gujarat Giants, it is back to the drawing board, as they will need to regroup, fix their defensive errors, and find consistency in raiding to bounce back in the upcoming matches.
