PKL 12 final live streaming, Dabang Delhi KC vs Puneri Paltan

PKL 12 final live streaming, Dabang Delhi KC vs Puneri Paltan: Dabang Delhi and Puneri Paltan will lock horns in the grand finale of Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) season 12 at the Thyagaraj Indoor Stadium on Friday. The journey to the final has been strikingly similar for both teams, who finished in the top two on the points table.

Dabang Delhi, season 8 champions, edged past Puneri Paltan in a dramatic 6-4 tiebreaker in Qualifier 1 after the scores were locked 34–34 in regulation time. Led by captain Ashu Malik and coached by former Dabang Delhi skipper Joginder Narwal, the capital side has shown remarkable grit in crunch moments.

Puneri Paltan, on the other hand, bounced back in style, winning their Qualifier 2 clash against Telugu Titans to seal their third final appearance in four seasons. Under Aslam Inamdar’s leadership and Ajay Thakur’s coaching prowess, the Paltan have set the benchmark this season, finishing atop the league table and boasting one of the most balanced squads.

Both sides have faced off thrice this season – and all three duels went into the tie-breaker. Each has tested the other’s limits, with Dabang Delhi relying on Ashu Malik’s explosive raids and the Paltan thriving on their corners’ composure and synchronised tackles.

For Dabang Delhi, the stakes couldn’t be higher. With the final being played on home turf, they’ll look to draw energy from the crowd and lean on their experienced campaigners such as Fazel Atrachali, Saurabh Nandal, and Ashu Malik.

Puneri Paltan, on the other hand, will aim to correct last season’s heartbreak. Their raiding department, led by the young and fearless Aditya Shinde alongside Aslam Inamdar, has complemented a rock-solid defence that thrives on teamwork rather than individual brilliance.

Joginder Narwal, the Dabang Delhi K.C. head coach, said his team’s return to the final resulted from belief and togetherness. “I’m extremely proud of this group – we’ve grown together. From the young players to the senior ones, everyone has stepped up. This isn’t about one individual; it’s about the collective spirit. The way they’ve fought through challenges and stayed united makes me believe this team deserves every bit of success it gets,” Narwal said.

Head coach Ajay Thakur said the team’s unity and discipline have been their biggest strengths. “When I took over as coach, I knew the foundation had to be about togetherness. You can’t build a champion side overnight – it takes time, trust and discipline. What I’m most proud of is how united these boys are; their love for each other shows in how they play. We’ve shown all season that we belong at the top, and now it’s about staying calm and giving it everything one last time,” said Thakur.

The final, much like their previous encounters, is expected to be decided by the smallest of margins. With both teams evenly matched and confident in their systems, it may come down to who handles the pressure better in the dying minutes.
