Coach Ashan Kumar is elated after his team crushed Haryana Steelers 45-27, in their previous encounter. Puneri Paltan bounced back strongly from their close defeat against Delhi Dabang K.C earlier. 

Talking about Rajesh Mondal and others, coach Ashan Kumar said, "Rajesh Mondal is a very good player and a very important player for us. We used him to the fullest today. Our secondary raiders worked well today, and Nitin Tomar didn’t have to do all the work. I am also very proud of my defence. They stuck to our plans and executed them perfectly."
