Bengaluru, Jan 24 (IANS): The Haryana Steelers will be looking to continue their good form after registering a thrilling 36-35 victory over U.P. Yoddha in Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 8. The Haryana side is all set to take on Gujarat Giants in their next match in Bengaluru on Wednesday.

Speaking about their previous match, all-rounder Rohit Gulia said, "It felt really good to win our match against UP Yoddha. We had a good lead at one point of the match, but our defense unit made a small mistake which allowed our opponents to come back into the match.

Speaking about their next match against Gujarat Giants, Gulia said, "Our preparations for our match against Gujarat Giants are going really well. We have to watch out for defenders Sunil Kumar and Parvesh Bhainswal in the Gujarat Giants team. However, the spirit is high within our group. We are looking to keep our momentum going and keep winning matches. We are seeking to qualify for the playoffs as soon as possible."
