Sachin emerged as the most expensive buy on Day 1 of the Player Auction for the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 11 held in Mumbai on Thursday.
It didn't take long, barely halfway through the first period for the Bulls to open up a sizable lead.
Bengaluru Bulls are second with18 points, U Mumbai is third with 17 points at third while Patna Pirates are placed fourth with 16 points and Thalaivas in the fifth position.
Table-toppers Dabang Delhi maintain their top position in the PKL points table despite going down 33-42 against Bengal Warriors.
The first half was completely dominated by the Gujarat side, which came as no surprise considering the winless run of Thalaivas.
Tamil Thalaivas started their game with utter composure, aggression at the right instances and ruled the first half. Rahul Chaudhari rolled back the years with his fine raiding, reminiscent of his days at the lead raider for the Telugu Titans.
Pardeep Narwal became the first player to cross 1,000 raid points in Pro Kabaddi League history. His 26 points exposed the problems in the Tamil Thalaivas side who looked answerless, especially in defence, against a bottom-placed Patna unit.
Ajith Kumar got to his Super 10 in the final minutes and ensured the Thalaivas lost with a margin less than seven points but coach E Bhaskaran will be left with a lot to wonder as his side suffered a fifth straight loss.
