Match 2 of the Vivo PKL 2019 witnessed 3 times champion Record breaker Pardeep Narwal go head to head with the last season's Record maker Pawan Sehrawat at the Gachibowli Indoor stadium in Hyderabad.
Lead by dubki king Pardeep Narwal, Pirates dominated the first half with a scoreline of 17-13. Pardeep scored 5 raid points in 11 raids, on the other hand the raiding duo of Bulls Rohit Kumar and Pawan Sehrawat were left somewhat surprised by the Patna's defence.
Bulls defence trio of Amit Sheoran, Ashish Sangwan and Mahender Singh then took up the charge to get Bengaluru back into the game with 4 super tackles in the second half. High flyer Pawan Sehrawat yet again pulled the rabbit out of the hat in the dying minutes of second half, ensuring the Bulls emerge victorious against Pirates finishing 34-32 at the 40th minute.
Pawan Sehrawat and Rohit Kumar had a brilliant season as they breezed past teams to be crowned Champions. In the finals Bengaluru Bulls played Gujarat Fortunegiants and Pawan Sehrawat outplayed the entire Fortunegiants team to clinch the title. This was the first championship for the Bulls.
