Puneri Paltan were let down by their defence as they scored just seven points. Out of the seven points, six were scored by Girish Erna kwho didn't get much support. Nitin Tomar's excellent raiding performance of 13 points went in vain as Puneri Paltan as they began their home league with a disappointing defeat.
You can block, you can dash, you can tackle... but Nitin Tomar will escape and score a Super 10! 💪😎 #PUNvGUJ #VivoProKabaddi pic.twitter.com/fDK0aI3Og5
