How did Puneri Paltan reach the PKL 10 final?

Finishing at the top of the table at the end of the group stage, the Season 9 runners-up got the free ticket to the semi-finals. The Paltan beat Patna Pirates in the Season 10 semi-final, putting an end to a one-sided encounter. 

The Paltan emerged victorious by 37-21, over the three-time PKL champions at the Gachibowli. The Pune-based franchise was on the move, from get go. They stormed into a nine-point lead, going into half-time. As if it wasn't curtains already, they stretched their lead to 16 points by the final whistle. 

In what was a complete team effort from Pune, all seven players on the mat, did their job. Shadlou Chiyaneh picked up yet another High-5, and raced towards the 100-tackle point individual tally. Both Pankaj Mohite and Aslam Inamdar picked up seven raid points each. 

How did Haryana Steelers reach the PKL 10 final?

The Haryana Steelers have risen up against all odds to reach to the PKL 10 final. The Steelers, who did not have a sniff of the semi-finals ahead of PKL 10, are now one match away from holding the PKL trophy. 

The Steelers have reached the final, the hard way! They got through Gujarat Giants in the eliminator, and beat the defending champions, Jaipur Pink Panthers in the semis. The match against Gujarat was a one-sided one, with the Steelers winning it by 42-25. However, they had to show grit and determination to knock down the Pink Panthers (31-27). 

Shivam Patare and Vinay Tevathia shined in what was a collective effort, all along. Patare scored seven points, while the Tevathia bagged 11 in his kitty. Ashish Narwal, the all-rounder chipped in with four tackle points, eating a few seconds off the clock by putting in empty raids, along the way.
