Pro Kabaddi League: Top raider Sonu Jaglan turned out to be the hero once again in what was Fazel Atrachali’s 100th game as captain, helping Gujarat Giants power past former champions U Mumba 39-37 in Season 10 of the Pro Kabaddi League at the EKA Arena by TransStadia here on Tuesday.

Sonu was the star of Gujarat Giants' first two wins in PKL Season 19 against Telugu Titans in their first game and over Bengaluru Bulls in the second. On Tuesday, he was in his element once again.

The teams traded the lead in the opening few minutes and a two-point raid from Guman Singh saw U Mumba surge ahead 7-5 in the 5th minute. The Giants then brought in their trump card, Sonu Jaglan, in the 7th minute but he failed to get going initially. Rakesh H.S. came to the Giants’ rescue when he grabbed a bonus point and a running hand touch on Rinku Singh to give his team a slender lead at 10-9.
