Noida (Uttar Pradesh)[India], January 2 (ANI): The Puneri Paltan continued their brilliant form as they registered a 54-18 victory over Telugu Titans in the Pro Kabaddi League Season 10 on Monday.
Speaking about the match, Puneri Paltan's Head Coach BC Ramesh said, "We decided to play patiently at the beginning of the game. If we played too aggressively then the match could've gotten close. Aslam told me that we didn't need to take any risks and the players played sensibly throughout the game."
While Captain Aslam Inamdar and Mohit Goyat are primarily in the team for their raiding abilities, they also contributed to the defence unit with five tackle points against the Titans. When asked about their defensive abilities, the head coach said, "Aslam and Mohit have put in efforts to improve as defenders on their own. Aslam stopped Pawan Sehrawat from taking bonus points two or three times in the match."
The Puneri Paltan are currently at the top of the table with 7 wins from 8 games. Speaking about the team's tremendous form this season, Captain Aslam Inamdar said, "Our team is coordinating well on the mat. And the defenders have been pulling successful tackles consistently. The raiders are also supporting the defence unit and the confidence is high within our camp. Our team combination is working well for us."
