Pawan Sehrawat's Powerhouse Performance Not Enough as Jaipur Pink Panthers Claw Back to Win Against Telugu Titans
In a thrilling encounter at the Tau Devilal Indoor Stadium, Jaipur Pink Panthers defeated Telugu Titans 51-44. Despite a stellar performance by Pawan Sehrawat, who scored 22 points for Titans, the team couldn't hold off a determined Jaipur comeback in the second half.
The first half was a Pawan Sehrawat show. The "High-Flyer" started strong with a two-point raid and continued to torment the Jaipur defense. Titans were disciplined and capitalized on their opportunities, leading by as many as 10 points at one stage. Milad Jabbari was a rock in defense for Titans, contributing five tackle points.
However, the tide turned in the second half. Arjun Deshwal, the star raider for Jaipur, started finding his rhythm, scoring points and inspiring his team. A crucial Super Tackle on Pawan Sehrawat in the 22nd minute was a turning point. Jaipur capitalized on their momentum, slowly chipping away at the Titans' lead.
Abhijeet Malik and Navneet provided valuable support to Arjun, and the Jaipur defense tightened up, making it difficult for Titans to score. A Super Tackle in the dying moments of the match sealed the victory for Jaipur.
While Pawan Sehrawat was the star of the show for Titans, his teammates couldn't quite match his intensity. Ajit Pawar and Parvesh Bhainswal contributed just one tackle point each, while Shankar Gadai managed two points.
For Jaipur, Arjun Deshwal was the standout performer with 16 points. Sunil Kumar and Abhijeet Malik also contributed significantly with 8 points each. Lucky Sharma and Navneet provided defensive support with two and one tackle points, respectively.
This victory strengthens Jaipur Pink Panthers' position at the top of the points table, while Telugu Titans remain winless in the second leg of the Pro Kabaddi League season 10.
