PKL Season 11: Training Against Haryana Steelers Defence Is Like Facing Bumrah, Shami In Nets, Says Manpreet Singh
The Haryana Steelers: The Haryana Steelers secured an impressive 48-39 victory over U Mumba, with young raiders Shivam Patare and Vishal Tate ruling the roost. After a slow first half where U Mumba were ahead of the Haryana Steelers, the side came back strong to secure the win.
A highlight of the game was their Iranian star Mohammedreza Shadloui becoming the fastest defender in PKL history to complete 300 tackle points, having taken just 76 matches to reach this milestone.
During the post-match press conference, head coach Manpreet Singh drew an interesting parallel between kabaddi and cricket to explain how his team's dynamic has provided a platform for these young raiders to develop their skills. "When young batters face bowlers like (Jasprit) Bumrah and (Mohammed) Shami in training, imagine how much they learn. Similarly, when our young raiders train with experienced defenders like Jaideep Dahiya, Rahul Sethpal and Mohammedreza Shadloui - who have so much experience - they get to learn so much," Singh said.
