Arjun Deshwal's Career-Best 26 Powers Tamil Thalaivas Past Patna Pirates, 56–37

Patna's defense produced just two tackle points, raising doubts about their playoff push, according to JioStar analyst Rishank Devadiga.

Overview

  • The victory in Chennai closed the Thalaivas' home leg on a strong note against the three-time champions.
  • PTI reported Deshwal logged his 71st Super 10, the third most in PKL history.
  • Devadiga said Deshwal attempted 28 raids for 26 raid points and called the display a home-crowd confidence boost.
  • The Thalaivas' 56-point haul was reported as the highest by any team in a single match this PKL season.
  • Despite Super 10s from Ayan Lohchab and Ankit Rana, Devadiga cautioned that Patna must tighten their defense over the final seven games to stay in contention for the eighth spot.
