Anyway, that’s it from here and thank you for joining Firstpost’s live coverage of Pro Kabaddi League.
Good night!!!
Pardee Narwal and the Pirates deserve all the praises coming their way. They deserve all the love and adulation that they have been abundantly showered with over the past three months.
They came in as champions and are now leaving as champions.
What a dream run Pardeep and their team seem to be having!!!
What a final!
What an exciting way to bring an end to this tournament that has made all these players household names over the course of the past three months.
Hard Luck for Gujarat Fortunegiants but they can walk with their heads held high after consistenly playing high-quality kabaddi from 28 july to 28 October.
Patna Pirates were just the better team on the day that mattered to become three-time champions.
No prizes for guessing who the 'Most Valuable Player of the tournament' award goes to...

After winning almost all the post-season awards, Pardeep is waiting to lay his hands on the title his team has been winning for the past three years. It will be much more special for him this year as he will get to lift the title as the captain of the team that has won the Pro Kabaddi League Season 5 – Patna Pirates
As the post-match presentation is up, the winning team Patna Pirates have congregated on the mat for the Trophy handing ceremony wearing their ceremonial white jackets and posing happily for the shutterbugs.
Heartbreaking but our spirits aren't broken. This is just a start. We will come back stronger next season. #GarjegaGujarat @ProKabaddi pic.twitter.com/DbLYcxOtk9

The crowds goes berserk as the final whistle blows.
The Patna Pirates have defended their title successfully. TWICE NOW.
Patna Pirates win the Pro Kabaddi League Season 5.
Under 40 seconds and the writing on the wall is clear…
IT WILL BE a HAT-TRICK OF TITLES
50-36! Gujarat suffers yet another all-out as it has been a Pardeep Narwal show at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium in Chennai. Twice, he was the last player on the mat and has rebuilt the team without allowing his side to face an all-out. What a big-match player!!!
45-34! Pirates need to hold on to this lead for just 4 minutes to fulfill the dream of a hat-trick of titles

47-36! Sachin scores a point to yet again leave the Patna Pirates with just two players on the mat. Pardeep on his do-or-die raid once again builds up the team by scoring two more points.

Pirates lead 45-34! A technical error by the Pirates defenders has now left just both their raiders on the mat against a full-strength Fortunegiants. With just Pardeep on the mat, an all-out seems to be in store for the Pirates. But Pardeep returns with two opponents to make the Pirates half look comparatively fuller.
Super 10 for #PardeepNarwal as he returns with three Fortunegiants to hand them an all-out

Pardeep goes in for yet another raid and returns with all the three Fortunegiants and hands them yet another all-out. The atmosphere is just electric with chants of Pardeep interspersed with whistles and hoots.
Pirates lead 38-26 with nine minutes to go.
Yet another day and yet another Super 10 for THE Pardeep Narwal.
30-26! Vijay on his do-or-die raid wins a point for Pirates after escaping the clutches of Parvesh. The crowd goes crazy with the re-entry of the ‘Dubki’ King.
Fortunegiants suffer an all-out, but they seem to have come back with a lot more determination as the team has been systematically reducing the number of Pirates on the mat with both their offence and defence.
Pirates still lead 29-26!
With just three players on the mat, the Fortunegiants are in a spot of bother as Pardeep prowls in for yet another raid. He brings Fazel back into the Pirates half and wins the Pirates two points.
Pirates lead 24-20!
What a remarkable comeback by the Patna Pirates to lead 22-19! after trailing by more than 5 points in the initial minutes of the game. Pardeep seems to be in a hurry and has the crowds cheering loudly for his every movie
.@PatnaPirates have raided every point on offer this season, and their total loot has now crossed 1⃣0⃣0⃣0⃣ points! #GUJvPAT pic.twitter.com/zente73FPR
