In a Pro Kabaddi League encounter on Monday, Tamil Thalaivas outplayed Haryana Steelers 45-26.

The first half was a high-scoring game, with the Tamil Thalaivas controlling the opening minutes.

Captain Surjeet Singh and Sagar had no intention of letting the Haryana raiders get comfortable, and they threw tackle after tackle to gain their team an all-out in the fifth minute.

The Thalaivas' defense set the tone, with Manjeet and K Prapanjan scoring raid points after missing the previous match.

With eight minutes left in the half, the Chennai team grabbed their second all-out and took a 14-point advantage. However, kabaddi is a game of momentum, and Vikash Kandola rapidly turned the Steelers' fortunes around.

He helped Haryana fight their way back into the game by spotting faults in an overly exuberant Tamil defense. With two minutes left before halftime, they got their first all-out, cutting Thalaivas' advantage to five points.
