Rohtak Royals Cruise Past Gurugram Gurus 44-32

Rohtak Royals made it three wins from four, defeating Gurugram Gurus 44-32 on February 1 at the Sports University of Haryana, Rai. The comfortable 12-point win continued Rohtak's recovery from their opening-day defeat to Karnal Kings, part of a run of form that would carry coach Surender Nada's side deep into the season.

Vijay Malik's raiding gave Rohtak Royals control from early in the match, while Sandeep Narwal's defensive experience shut down what limited attacking threat Gurugram Gurus could muster. The Gurus, under coach Jagpal Singh, extended their losing run to four straight matches, a stretch that would eventually reach five before a dramatic late-season turnaround.

For Rohtak Royals, the win kept them firmly in the hunt for a top-four finish, part of a campaign that would ultimately see them qualify for the semi-finals in fourth position before a knockout run that ended in the Kabaddi Champions League title. This match offered another example of the calm, structured kabaddi that would define Rohtak's approach throughout the season.

Gurugram Gurus' difficult stretch continued here, but the team's eventual late-season wins over Faridabad Fighters and Hisar Heroes would show that coach Jagpal Singh's young squad had more fight in it than this run of results suggested.
