Madhya Pradesh Warriors secured their berth in the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 11 playoffs with a nail-biting 38–34 victory over Bengal Bravehearts at the packed TT Nagar Indoor Stadium in Bhopal on Saturday evening. Star raider Ravi Dahiya led from the front with a super-10 performance, contributing 14 raid points as the home crowd erupted in celebration. Defender Aakash Shinde pulled off a crucial tackle in the dying minutes to seal the win and the Warriors’ spot in the final four. The match drew an estimated 5,000 fans to the venue, making it one of the most attended PKL games in Bhopal this season. Cheerleaders, folk music performances, and a special light show at half-time added to the festive atmosphere. Warriors head coach Sanjeev Kumar praised the team’s resilience. “We were down by 4 points in the second half but the boys showed tremendous heart. Bhopal has given us incredible support all season,” he said in the post-match press conference. MP Warriors will now face defending champions Bengaluru Bulls in the semi-finals next weekend. Tickets for the away leg go on sale starting Monday morning.
