PKL 9: I had faith in my team when we were behind in the game, says Bengaluru Bulls coach

Bengaluru, Oct 23 (SocialNews.XYZ) Bengaluru Bulls were trailing at 11-24 against U Mumba at the end of the first half in the vivo Pro Kabaddi League Season 9 on Saturday. However, raider Bharat led the charge for the Bulls in the second half and scored a whopping 16 points in the match to help his side clinch a thrilling 42-32 victory.
