Catch all the live action of the first match of Pro Kabaddi 2016 Season 4 in HINDI as well
Patna Pirates are now up to 2nd in the Pro Kabaddi table with 2 wins in 2 (10 points) while U Mumba stay at 5th spot with 6 points.
And here are the post match awards:
Expectedly, Pardeep Narwal wins the Best Raider of the Match award after he scored 18 raid points.
Bajirao Hodage with 4 tackle points is awarded the Best Defender of the Match.
Rishank Devadiga, for that crucial super raid in the end, wins the Moment of the Match award.
Kuldeep Singh is given the Marathon Man of the Match award for staying on the mat for the longest time.
Pardeep Narwal ended up with 18 points in the match while Rishank’s 11 points went in vain as the former managed to drop anchor to Pirates’ slide and sink U Mumba.
U Mumba may hold the upper hand against Patna Pirates in terms of head to head (5-3), but the last 2 matches have been won by the men in green! The rise of the Pirates has well and truly sunk U Mumba’s dominance in the tournament.
