Dabang Delhi K.C.’s seasoned stars had a night to remember as they helped their team beat Patna Pirates 32-29 in Match 62 of Pro Kabaddi League Season 8 at The Sheraton Grand, Whitefield, Bengaluru.

Manjeet Chhillar, the defender with most tackle points in vivo PKL history, produced a last-raid tackle to clinch the thriller for Delhi, who were once again without the services of their star raider Naveen Kumar.
