Shivam Patare injury Update: The Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 (PKL 2025) is nearing its final phase, but Haryana Steelers’ solid victory over Telugu Titans in Match 103 came with both joy and concern. The Steelers registered a commanding 45–34 win over the Titans at the Thyagaraja Sports Complex in Delhi, but their star raider Shivam Patare suffered an unfortunate injury during the game, creating a tense moment for fans and teammates alike.
Haryana Steelers Dominate the Titans with a Strong Second Half
The game began evenly, with Telugu Titans showing great energy and taking an early lead. However, as the first half progressed, the Haryana Steelers slowly found their rhythm and began to take control of the match.
The second half was completely one-sided. Haryana’s defense tightened, and their raiders consistently scored points. Vinay led the team brilliantly with 11 raid points, while Shivam Patare supported well by contributing 8 points before leaving the court due to injury.
For the Titans, Bharat Hooda stood out as their lone warrior, scoring 15 raid points and one tackle point, but his effort wasn’t enough to prevent another disappointing defeat for his side.
This win not only boosted Haryana’s confidence before the playoffs but also dealt a significant blow to the Titans’ hopes of finishing in the top 4.
Shivam Patare’s Injury: A Major Concern for Haryana Steelers
During one of his raids in the second half, Shivam Patare appeared to pick up an injury, forcing the medical team to rush onto the mat. The young raider was immediately taken off and later sent to the hospital for further examination.
After the match, Haryana Steelers’ head coach Manpreet Singh provided an important update on Shivam’s condition. He expressed concern but also hope for a quick recovery.
Manpreet said,
“We’ll have to check first. He was sent directly to the hospital from here. I hope he’s okay. The whole of India likes him, so I request everyone to pray for his well-being and wish him a speedy recovery.”
The coach’s emotional words reflected how valuable Shivam has been to the team this season. Fans across social media have since been pouring in messages, wishing him a fast recovery.
Coach Manpreet Singh on Haryana Steelers’ Season and Playoff Journey
While addressing the media post-match, Coach Manpreet also spoke about Haryana Steelers’ overall journey this season and their mindset heading into the playoffs. He praised the team’s consistent efforts and resilience despite some narrow defeats earlier in the tournament.
He said,
“We have played very good Kabaddi throughout the tournament, but we lost 4–5 matches by just one point. We performed well even in those games, and if they had gone in our favour, we would have been at the top of the table.”
He further added,
“The league has 18 matches, and we’ve given our 100% in all of them — whether it’s the players, coaches, or management. We’re the defending champions, and we’ve tried to play like one.”
Talking about the road ahead, Manpreet confidently stated,
“We’ll give our 100% in the playoff matches as well. To all the fans who have supported us, I want to say that our team won’t disappoint you. We’ll give our best and try to get as close to the trophy as possible.”
How Important Is Shivam Patare for Haryana Steelers?
Shivam Patare has been one of Haryana Steelers’ standout performers this season. His agility, fearless raiding style, and consistency have made him an indispensable part of the team’s attack. Losing him ahead of the playoffs could disrupt the team’s combination and strategy.
If the reports confirm a serious injury, the Steelers may have to rely heavily on Vinay and other raiders to fill the gap. However, with coach Manpreet’s tactical guidance and the team’s strong bench strength, Haryana still remains a formidable contender.
The Steelers’ management and fans are hopeful that Shivam’s injury isn’t too severe and that he can return in time for the crucial knockout stages.
Haryana Steelers’ dominant victory against Telugu Titans highlighted their form and intent as they move toward the business end of PKL Season 12. But the injury to Shivam Patare has left a cloud of uncertainty hovering over the camp.
Coach Manpreet Singh’s heartfelt update has reassured fans, but everyone now eagerly awaits the medical reports to know whether their star raider will return for the playoffs.
For now, the entire Kabaddi fraternity — from teammates to fans — is united in one hope: that Shivam Patare recovers quickly and returns stronger to continue lighting up the Pro Kabaddi mat.
