In a nail-biting Pro Kabaddi League match at Noida Indoor Stadium, the Jaipur Pink Panthers achieved a narrow victory over Puneri Paltan with a scoreline of 30-28, securing their third consecutive win.

Ankush Rathee's defensive prowess and Arjun Deshwal's eight-point contribution proved crucial for the Panthers, catapulting them to second place in the points table. The initial exchanges saw both teams, last season's finalists, evenly matched.
