Dabang Delhi KC overcame three-time champions Patna Pirates 37-36 to clinch the Pro Kabaddi League Season 8 trophy in the final on Friday.

The game saw all-rounder Vijay (14 points) and star raider Naveen Kumar (13 points) shine as they secured super 10s.

With Mohammadreza Shadloui and Sunil committing way too many errors, Patna Pirates witnessed an uncharacteristically poor night in terms of the defence.

Although Patna got a fair chance to level the scores during the final stages of the match, Naveen evaded the defenders to cross the baulk line, leading Delhi to take home their first-ever PKL trophy.

Soon after the match got over, wishes started pouring in for the Dabangs of the tournament. Taking to Twitter, Pro Kabaddi hailed the champions of the eighth edition.

The second half began with Patna going on the attack but Delhi’s defenders held their nerves, taking them closer towards achieving an all-out. Patna’s Guman Singh had other ideas, he got two valuable points to delay the inevitable.

Dabang Delhi’s Vijay secured a 3-point Super Raid to sustain the pressure during the match. With only 10 minutes remaining in the final, the scores were level at 24-24.

Naveen clinched his super 10 soon after the first time out. The Dabangs continued to dominate the mat and inflicted an all out with 6 minutes remaining to open a 2-point lead.
