Bengaluru Bulls Aim for Redemption in Clash with Puneri Paltan

Bengaluru Bulls eye a comeback in their third PKL game against Puneri Paltan. Despite a rocky start, the team aims to enhance their defensive strategies, bolstered by coach Randhir Singh Sehrawat's confidence and captain Pardeep Narwal's commitment to improving team performance for future victories.

The Bengaluru Bulls are aiming to rebound from a challenging start to Season 11 of the Pro Kabaddi League as they prepare for their third match of the season on Friday, against the defending champions, Puneri Paltan. Led by Pardeep Narwal, the Bulls face a formidable opponent with two victories and one loss under their belt.

Key to the Bulls' strategy is enhancing their defensive play. Coach Randhir Singh Sehrawat expressed dissatisfaction with the team's performance against UP Yoddhas, emphasizing the potential for improvement in forthcoming matches. 'Our defense didn't click against the UP Yoddhas. We've lost the first two games, but with plenty of matches ahead, I am confident we can adjust and improve,' Sehrawat stated in a PKL release.

Sehrawat, maintaining a positive outlook, added that the team would intensify their training efforts. 'I've witnessed highs and lows before, but I'm convinced there's room for improvement, and I have full faith in our team. We'll strategize against Puneri Paltan's strengths and focus on our defense,' he said. Captain Pardeep Narwal echoed these sentiments, urging improvements in their defensive formations. 'I scored 16 points against the UP Yoddhas, but team success is paramount. Raiders were on point, but we must tighten other areas, particularly defense, to excel against Puneri Paltan,' added Narwal.
