Pro Kabaddi 2019 preview: Will Tamil Thalaivas defence stop Pawan Sehrawat?

In Match 70 of Pro Kabaddi 2019, Bengaluru Bulls look to forget their loss against Gujarat Fortuengiants, when they lock horns with Tamil Thalaivas at Sre Kanteerava Stadium, Bengaluru, on Sunday. Bulls have put up a dominating performance against Thalaivas recently and the main reason behind this is Pawan Sehrawat. He has tormented the Tamil Thalaivas defence and they have simply had no answer for him as he is averaging 12.5 raid points per game against them and a raid SR of 83.

Pawan will look to rebound from lowest performance vs Gujarat

In Saturday’s game against Gujarat, Pawan Sehrawat finished the game with just 3 raid points from 11 raids. He was tackled 5 times in the match. This was not just Pawan’s lowest raid points in a match this season, but lowest since the start of PKL 6. His previous lowest was 5 raid points (twice in PKL 6 and twice in PKL 7)

Pawan Sehrawat & Rohit Kumar - PKL 2019
Performance	No. of Matches	Wins	Losses
One of them scoring 7 or more raid points	9	4	5
Both Scoring 7 or more raid points	2	2	0
Both scoring less than 7 points	1	0	1

 

The 9 raid points Bengaluru Bulls scored yesterday was their lowest of the season. Their previous lowest had been 15. Yesterday’s game, however, was a rare case where both Pawan and Rohit failed to score at least 7 raid points in a match in PKL 2019. The two matches where both have scored at least seven raid points, Bengaluru have won both times. When only one of them touches the 7 raid point mark, they have won 4 and lost 5. In the last 6 games however, the team has been receiving good contributions from both Pawan and Rohit which will be a positive sign for them.
