Noida, Jan 23(UNI) Amit held his nerve under intense pressure in the decisive final contest to steer Maharashtra Kesari to a well-earned 5–4 victory over Haryana Thunders, handing the previously unbeaten side their first defeat of the season in Match 10 of the Pro Wrestling League 2026 on Friday night, here at Noida Indoor Stadium. With the tie locked at 4-4, Amit produced a composed performance in the 86kg men’s category to secure the win by a single point, lifting Maharashtra Kesari to the top of the standings with six points from four matches. Haryana Thunders were pushed all the way in a high-quality encounter that swung repeatedly in momentum.
Tevanyan Vazgen from Maharashtra Kesari was named Player of the Match, while Kajal Dhochhak earned Fighter of the Match honours for keeping Haryana alive deep into the contest.
Haryana Thunders made a blistering start through their captain Yui Susaki in the opening 53kg women’s category. The former Olympic champion wasted no time asserting control, executing back-to-back takedowns and smooth exposure sequences before forcing a fall inside just 85 seconds to give Haryana a 1–0 lead. The advantage doubled in the 74kg men’s contest as Parvinder delivered a powerful Power Minute, landing a takedown-and-turn sequence to pull away late and secure a convincing 14–8 win.
