Ruthless up yoddhas

Ruthless UP Yoddhas: Gagan Gowda played the starring role as the UP Yoddhas delivered a dominant performance against the Gujarat Giants, registering a massive 59-23 victory in a Season 11 clash of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) at the Badminton Hall of the Balewadi Sports Complex here on Thursday.

Gagan Gowda scored a game-high 19 points, while Bhavani Rajput registered a Super 10 and Sumit secured a High-5 to wrap up a commanding performance for the UP Yoddhas and they extended their unbeaten run to eight games. The game started with fast exchanges as Guman Singh and Gowda got their respective sides on the board. It didn’t take too long for Rakesh to register the first Super Raid of the game, and it was instantly matched by Gagan Gowda as he bagged a Super Raid of his own.

UP Yoddhas began asserting themselves in the game as Bhavani Rajput grew into the match. A tackle from Sumit tackle helped them inflict the first All-Out, taking a five-point lead with the score at 12-7. Gowda then stole the show, completing his Super 10 in the first half itself, as UP Yoddhas clicked into a different gear to create some real separation between the two sides.
