PKL 2019 | Proud of the way we came back after the early setback, says Srinivas Reddy

Jaipur Pink Panthers started on a strong foot but they came back well into the game and tied their match against Haryana Steelers 33-33 last night. They suffered an all-out following a Vikas Kandola super raid which resulted in an all-out for them and also continuous points after that had them finishing the first half lagging behind by 4 points. They came back into the game slowly and steadily and inflicted another all-out onto the Steelers when there were only 5 minutes left on the clock.

“Given the form that they are in, we had no choice but to focus on them and strategize meticulously for this game. We managed to keep them quiet and executed the plan to perfection, but we could have won the contest,” coach Reddy said while talking about their strategy against Vikas Kandola and Prasntha Kumar Rai.  

“Patna Pirates played an incredible game last time around and Pardeep Narwal was unstoppable. And I’d also like to congratulate him on becoming the first player to reach 1000 raid points. An incredible achievement from an incredible player. The last time we played them in Patna, we emerged victorious and I’m confident that the team will emerge victorious in the upcoming match as well,” coach Shetty signed off.
