Kabaddi Champions League: Rohtak Royals Crowned Champions
Rohtak stamped their authority early, racing to a 4–2 lead within three minutes before inflicting the first All-Out in the fifth minute to surge ahead 9–3. Vijay Malik, Rakesh Singroha and Milan Dahiya struck with sharp raids, while the defence repeatedly pinned down Bhiwani’s star raider Devank Dalal.
The Bulls mounted a spirited comeback through Sourav and Devank, cutting the deficit to one point and eventually forcing Rohtak into their first All-Out as the scores levelled at 16–16. However, a Super Raid from Rakesh Singroha proved decisive, helping the Royals regain momentum and head into half-time with a 20–16 lead.
The second half turned into a tactical battle. Bhiwani briefly surged ahead, highlighted by Parvesh Malik completing a High-5, while Devank continued to raid bravely despite carrying an injury. With the match hanging in the balance, Rohtak’s defence delivered under pressure- a Super Tackle on Devank by Sandeep Deswal, Milan Dahiya and Gaurav swung momentum back in their favour.
In the dying minutes, the Royals showed championship composure. Timely raids by Singroha and crunch tackles by captain Sandeep Narwal, including back-to-back stops in the final seconds, sealed a dramatic 32–30 victory.
