PKL 8: Pawan Sehrawat shines as Bengaluru Bulls overcome Gujarat Giants
The Season 6 champions showed great composure on the mat against a well-drilled Giants team to earn a victory that puts them on top of the points table. Pawan Sehrawat scored 19 points and was ably supported by Bharat who clinched nine points (including two for tackles). Gujarat matched Bulls for most parts of the match but the three all-out they suffered proved too costly at the end. Their young raider Rakesh clinched a Super 10 (14 points) and will definitely be a raider to watch out for in the upcoming matches.

We have continued to back Cheteshwar and Ajinkya because of the kind of players they are," said Kohli in the post-match press conference after India lost the third and deciding Test by seven wickets on Friday.
