Clinical up yoddhas

Clinical UP Yoddhas: In a well-fought contest, the Jaipur Pink Panthers and the UP Yoddhas matched each other raid-for-raid and tackle-for-tackle for the majority of the match before the latter emerged 33-29 winners in a Season 11 clash in the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) at the Noida Indoor Stadium here on Thursday evening.

The well-contested game finished with the UP Yoddhas clinching victory in the final minute. For the UP Yoddhas, Bhavani Rajput top scored with eight points, while Gagan Gowda got six and Sumit picked up a Hi-5, as they exacted revenge for the defeat against Jaipur Pink Panthers earlier in the season.

It was a cautious start from both sides, who were keen on not conceding ground early on. Arjun Deshwal and Ankush Rathee helped the Jaipur Pink Panthers pick up a slender early lead, but soon after the UP Yoddhas fought back and got their noses out in front.
