Tamil Thalaivas' coach J Udaya Kumar has said that the reason for a bad season is the team’s overdependence on the senior players who were not up to the mark this season. The Thalaivas lost their last match against Bengal Warriors by four points and finished at the bottom of the points table.

After winning the game against Tamil Thalaivas by 33-29 last evening, Bengal coach BC Ramesh has said that the team will be able to do well without their regular skipper but would definitely want him in the side in semis. Ramesh has added that the Thalaivas' defence did well in the first half.

UP Yoddha’s Shrikant Jadhav has revealed that his coach and teammates have never let him feel the pressure of being the main raider in the squad. It was Shrikant’s Super 10 and a High 5 from skipper Nitesh Kumar that helped UP Yoddha beat the home side Haryana Steelers 37-30 at Panchkula.

Haryana Steelers coach Rakesh Kumar has asserted that it was the errors made in defence that cost his side the opportunity to start the home leg of PKL 2019 with a win. Instead, UP Yoddha edged the clash 37-30, thanks to a Super 10 from Shrikant Jadhav and a High 5 from skipper Nitesh Kumar.
