**Chennai, India -** The Gujarat Giants emerged victorious in a dominant 47-40 performance against the Bengal Warriors at the SDAT MultiPurpose Indoor Stadium on Saturday, climbing off the bottom of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 12 points table.

Skipper Rakesh Sungroya led the charge for the Giants, racking up an impressive 18 points. He was ably supported by all-rounders Visvanth V, Ankit Dahiya, and Mohammadreza Shadloui, who all contributed significantly to the victory.

The Giants started strong, with Rakesh’s unstoppable raids and Shadloui’s sharp defense giving them an early lead. They inflicted three all-outs in the first half, setting a PKL 12 record and boasting a commanding 31-12 lead at halftime.

While the Bengal Warriors struggled to find their footing, Devank Dalal delivered a record-breaking performance, scoring a remarkable 25 points. This feat marks him as the first player in PKL history to score 20+ points in three consecutive matches. However, Dalal’s heroic efforts were not enough, as he lacked sufficient support from his teammates, hindering the Warriorz’s comeback attempts.

The Warriorz mounted a spirited fightback in the third and fourth quarters, led by Dalal’s relentless raiding. They even managed to inflict an all-out on the Giants. But the Giants’ strong foundation, built on Rakesh’s crucial raid points and the defensive efforts of Dahiya and Shadloui, ultimately secured the win.

The Gujarat Giants prevailed with a 7-point margin, showcasing their all-round strength and determination.
