PKL 2019 | Pawan Sehrawat “not entirely satisfied” after tie against Dabang Delhi

In the absence of Rohit Kumar, Pawan Sehrawat was leading the Bulls’ unit in the game against Dabang Delhi and was the only top raider in the team. He also played well to collect 15 raid points in the game and the team was able to come back strong towards the end of the game and ended the match in a tie against the table-toppers.

However, Pawan said, during the post-match press conference, that although he was happy with the way the team bounced back, he was not entirely satisfied with the end result as the match ended in a tie. 

“I'm happy with the way we fought back but am not entirely satisfied with the result. We could have won the match. When I got tackled with just three or some minutes left in the game, we were leading and could have sealed the game had I just returned with a solitary point. But I tried to get multiple and ended up getting tackled which allowed them to score a couple more. But with that being said, I'm pleased by how we never gave in,” Pawan told reporters.

Bengaluru Bulls are currently at fifth position on the table with 3 points from 18 games. They are in a tough situation at the moment considering that their next match is against U Mumba who are just ahead of them while the teams below them on the table are also not far away.

“We lost a few games and that has seen us drop a few places on the table. So, we are in a little spot of bother, but we are confident we can do well in our remaining matches and qualify for the playoffs. The match against U Mumba will be a tough one and I'm looking forward to that challenge,” the star Bulls raider stated.

When asked about their next opponents U Mumba, he replied, “An outstanding defensive team. They have some brilliant defenders in their team. Fazel (Atrachali), Sandeep Narwal, Surinder (Singh) are all playmakers in defence. They are very robust in their tackling." 

“In attack too, they have Abhishek Singh, who has been in good form recently. Rohit Baliyan is an experienced campaigner. Athul MS can produce moments of magic. So, they are a team full of quality and we will have to play well to beat them.”
