Patna Pirates registered a stunning come-from-behind win to become the fifth team to qualify for the Pro Kabaddi League playoffs.

The Pirates clinched a 38-36 victory over Telugu Titans here on Tuesday. Manjeet starred for Patna Pirates with 8 points, while Telugu Titans skipper Pawan Sehrawat's superb 16-point show went in vain.

Patna Pirates were the in-form team coming into the game with a 7-game unbeaten streak, but they were handed a rude jolt by a resurgent Telugu Titans.

Pawan began the onslaught as he produced two back-to-back multi-point raids and some woeful defending from the Pirates saw the Titans inflict an all out within 4 minutes.

Pawan ran circles around the men in green and brought up his Super 10 in the 15th minute, at which point the scorecard read 20-12 in Telugu Titans’ favour.

The Pirates upped the ante in the final five minutes of the half as Sandeep Kumar produced a couple of key raids and a strong tackle from Krishan Dhull on Pawan saw the Titans reduced to just 2 men.
