**Pune, India** – The UP Yoddhas edged out the Puneri Paltan in a nail-biting Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 11 match on Saturday at the Balewadi Sports Complex, winning 36-33. Gagan Gowda was the star performer for the Yoddhas, scoring 15 crucial points, including a Super 10.

The Yoddhas started strongly, taking an early lead thanks to Gowda’s impressive raiding and solid defensive support. While Puneri Paltan captain Akash Shinde fought back, Gowda’s Super Raid just after the five-minute mark shifted the momentum decisively. An all-out inflicted on Puneri Paltan further extended the Yoddhas’ advantage, giving them a comfortable 21-11 lead at halftime.

The second half saw a resurgence from the Puneri Paltan. Pankaj Mohite (11 points), Mohit Goyat, and Aryavardhan Navale led a determined comeback, narrowing the gap to just five points with ten minutes remaining. Despite a Super Tackle on Gowda by Mohit Goyat, the Puneri Paltan’s late surge was ultimately not enough to overcome the Yoddhas’ lead. Gowda’s consistent performance proved the difference, securing a hard-fought victory for his team.
