Captain Naveen Kumar scored 11 raid points as Dabang Delhi registered a thumping 38-29 victory over Bengal Warriors in a Pro Kabaddi League match here on Monday.
Following Monday’s masterclass, Naveen also surpassed 1000 raid points in the PKL.
Moments later, Delhi inflicted the first ‘all out’ of the match with a fine tackle on Shrikant Jadhav, taking an impressive 9-2 lead. Maninder Singh picked up a couple of raid points for the Warriors, but Delhi still held the lead at 10-5 in the ninth minute.
Ashish, then, effected a couple of brilliant tackles as Dabang Delhi continued to hold the lead at 14-7 in the 14th minute.
Naveen pulled off a running hand touch and reduced the Warriors to just two members in the 16th minute. The Delhi side tackled Nitin Kumar and inflicted another ‘all out’ just before the break.
At half-time, Dabang Delhi led 23-16.
After the break, Delhi’s defence tackled Maninder and Shrikant well to help the team to a massive lead at 27-18. Moments later, Naveen registered his 1000th raid point in PKL.
Naveen kept picking up raid points as Dabang Delhi always held sway to make it a one-sided contest.
