Ajay Thakur Prioritizes Mohits Health Over Puneri Paltans Title Bid in PKL 2025 Final

At the Pro Kabaddi League 2025 Final, Puneri Paltan narrowly missed out on the championship, losing to Dabang Delhi by just three points. After the defeat, coach Ajay Thakur revealed the crucial reason behind the absence of star player Mohit Goyat in the title clash. Thakur confirmed that the 22-year-old raider had been dealing with an injury and was not fit to play, emphasizing that a player’s health and long-term career were more important than risking it for one match or season.

He explained that even a minor injury, if ignored, could have serious consequences and potentially end a player’s career. Mohit is currently undergoing rehabilitation. Despite the disappointment, Thakur expressed pride in his team’s effort during his debut season as head coach. He praised the squad for their fighting spirit and promised that the team would return stronger in the next season.
