**Tamil Thalaivas Edge Out Bengaluru Bulls in Thrilling PKL Southern Derby**

**Jaipur, India -** The Tamil Thalaivas emerged victorious in a nail-biting Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) 2025 encounter against the Bengaluru Bulls, securing a 35-29 win at the SMS Indoor Stadium in Jaipur on Tuesday. According to *Zee News*, the match, part of Rivalry Week in PKL 12, was a seesaw battle with both teams showcasing impressive raiding and defensive skills.

“It was a game that could have gone either way,” reports Avinash Kumar, a sports journalist with *Zee News*. “Both teams came out firing, making for a very intense and exciting match.”

Raid Machine Arjun Deshwal of the Thalaivas secured a Super 10, contributing significantly to his team’s score, while Narender Kandola added five crucial points. Their efforts negated another Super 10 performance from Bengaluru Bulls’ Alireza Mirzaian.

The first half saw the Bulls take control, leading 20-14, largely due to Alireza’s raiding prowess and a timely ALL OUT. However, the Thalaivas mounted a strong comeback in the second half. Arjun’s aggressive raids reduced the Bulls to a single player, leading to an ALL OUT for the Thalaivas and a shift in momentum.

In the final minutes, the Bulls closed the gap, but a critical tackle by Narender Kandola on Ganesha Hanamantagol, a key player in the Bulls’ previous victory, ultimately sealed the win for the Tamil Thalaivas.

“The Thalaivas displayed great resilience to overcome a halftime deficit and secure this important victory,” Kumar added. “This Southern Derby win will give them a huge boost as they progress further in the tournament.”

The Thalaivas will look to build on this win, while the Bulls will aim to regroup and bounce back in their upcoming matches. Stay tuned to *Zee News* for the latest updates and breaking news from the PKL 2025.
