Here’s a review of the , based on the Season 11 final held in December 2024. Review: Pro Kabaddi 2024 Champion – A Title Earned, Not Gifted Winner: Puneri Paltan (back-to-back champions) Final match date: December 28, 2024 Opponent in final: Haryana Steelers Final score: Puneri Paltan 28 – 23 Haryana Steelers What Worked for the Champions 1. Defensive Rock – The “Loins” of the Team Puneri Paltan didn’t win with flashy raiding alone. Their corner combination of Mohammadreza Shadloui (Iran) and Abinesh Nadarajan was the league’s most miserly defensive unit. In the final, they strangled Haryana’s raiders – restricting them to just 3 raid points in the first half. Shadloui’s ankle holds and chain tackles were a masterclass.
For fans of tactical kabaddi, this was a beautiful final. For neutrals wanting high-score thrillers, it felt a bit one-sided after the 15-minute mark. Still, Puneri fully deserved the crown. They’ve built a dynasty – not just a team. Would you like a shorter summary (2-3 lines) or a stats breakdown of the final match?
Aslam Inamdar led from the front – not just with raids, but with tactical timeouts and on-mat decision-making. He kept the team calm when Haryana threatened a comeback in the second half. His leadership maturity was far beyond his years.
