Kolkata : Captain Rahul Chaudhuri put up a brave front to power Telugu Titans to an overwhelming 36-28 win over Dabang Delhi KC in the Pro Kabaddi League at the Netaji Indoor Stadium.
Going for a hard tackle, Chaudhuri sustained an injury in his forehead but he played on with the bandage that affected his sight and scored 16 points, including one super tackle, to lead Telugu Titans to their sixth win from 11 matches.
Having started off with a hattrick of defeats, Telugu Titans are now unbeaten from six matches to jump to second place ahead of former champions Jaipur Pink Panthers on score difference.

In the second match of the day, home outfit Bengal Warriors squandered a 15-8 lead at halftime to go down to Bengaluru Bulls 25-27 and suffer their eighth loss of the season.
The home team, who has secured just two wins to be out of the semifinal race, thus ended their home leg campaign on a disappointing note to remain at the bottom of the table with 20 points from 12 matches.
