The first drawn game in Season 2 of Star Sports Pro Kabaddi
gave three points each to the contestants. As a result Patna
remains in fourth place with 20 points and Bengal
move over Pune in seventh spot. They have 11 points in their kitty.
Sandeep Narwal, the home team’s captain failed to inspire
his side as he with Ravi Dalal and Deepak Narwal and Dinesh and his fellow
raiders failed to register a single point in the first ten minutes.
It was Vineet Sharma of the Warriors came up with the
first raid point when he touched left corner Sunil Kumar taking the score to
4-3 in favour of the Warriors. With Dinesh getting out twice and Ravi Dalal and
Deepak Narwal getting into the scoring act the scoreboard started moving albeit
at a snail’s pace.
The second half was slightly better with Gurvinder showing a
sense of urgency and Mahendra Rajput the tall Maharashtra cop who had replaced
Dinesh scoring three there was something to shout for the spectators. Overall
it the match ended on a better note for the hosts as the staved of defeat with
Jan Kun Lee getting trapped during a do-or –die raid with his team having a
20-19 advantage. The three points earned by Patna helped them remain in the top four and
on course for a semi-final berth.
In the post-match press conference, stand-in captain Sandeep
Narwal spoke in brief about the end of their home leg. “We are slightly
disappointed that we could not finish with a win. A draw was a fair result
considering how strong Bengal
was tonight. The crowd support has been superb and was one of the main
reasons that we were able to turn around the results after the first loss in
the home leg vs Telugu Titans. We will be aiming to continue our good
performances from here and win as many matches as possible.”
