Bengaluru, Feb. 26- Dabang Delhi KC clinched the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 8 trophy by eking out a close 37-36 win over Patna Pirates in the summit clash yesterday.

Delhi’s star raider Naveen Kumar (13 points) and all-rounder Vijay (14 points) secured Super 10s as they overcame a tough challenge from three-time champions Patna Pirates.

Patna had an uncharacteristically poor night in the defence with the likes of Mohammadreza Shadloui and Sunil committing far too many errors.

The Pirates, however, had a chance to level the scores in the final move of the match, but Naveen evaded the defenders to cross the baulk line and win Delhi their first PKL trophy.
