Pro Kabaddi League Season 9: Full List of Award Winners, Prize Money, Records and Statistics

Mumbai, Dec 17: Jaipur Pink Panthers defeated a spirited Puneri Paltan by 33-29 in the highly anticipated Pro Kabaddi League Season 9 Final and won their second PKL title at the Dome, NSCI SVP Stadium, Mumbai on Saturday (December 17).

Jaipur Pink Panthers - who were the inaugural champions of the Pro Kabaddi - have now become only the second team after Patna Pirates, who have lifted the trophy three times.

Arjun Deshwal - who has been the best raider of the season - bagged six points in the all-important final and he was brilliantly supported by his captain Sunil Kumar - who picked up 6 points in defence. Raider V Ajith Kumar also scored 6 points in the match.

Fazel Atracheli-led Puneri Paltan were unlucky to win the game as they failed to get past Pink Panthers in the final. However, they put up a good fight in the game and had their chances of getting past the spirited Panthers.

Pink Panthers looked in a completely different zone in the game and outplayed Puneri Paltan in every department. The Pune-based franchise perhaps felt the pressure of the big game and couldn't give their best on D-Day.
