Their opposition in the final on December 29, 2024, was the —a team that had broken their own playoff curse. Haryana, led by the explosive raider Vinay, had stunned the defending champions earlier in the season and arrived with immense momentum after eliminating the fan-favorite Jaipur Pink Panthers in the semifinals. The Final: A Low-Scoring Chess Match Contrary to the high-flying raiding fans expected, the final was a defensive war. The match ended 28-23 in favor of Puneri Paltan. While the scoreline suggests a comfortable win, the game was tense until the final five minutes.
When the dust settled on the 11th season of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) in late 2024, history had been written. The Puneri Paltan successfully defended their title, becoming only the third franchise in PKL history to win back-to-back championships. While the league has seen dynasties like Patna Pirates (three in a row from 2016-2018), Pune’s victory in Hyderabad was unique—it wasn’t built on a single superstar, but on a revolutionary system. The Road to the Final Season 11 was a grueling five-month marathon featuring 12 teams. Puneri Paltan entered the playoffs as the table-toppers with 84 points from 22 matches, showcasing a level of consistency rarely seen in modern kabaddi. 2024 pro kabaddi winner
