The hero of today’s humdinger was undoubtedly the tall Sonu
Narwal who was trapped just once by the rival defence. He had a whopping tally
of 13 points including three bonus points. And most of them came in the second
half as he ran through the Titans to help his side inflict an all-out within
ten minutes of resumption after the local side led 20-12 at the break. The
score stood at 29-27 to give hopes to the visitors.
Earlier, in the first half, a fine show by Sukesh Hegde had
put Titans in a good position with an all-out within seven minutes. He started
with a super raid of three points and followed with a couple in another raid.
On the other side Jaipur’s star Jasvir Singh went pointless
in the first half as he was time and again successfully tackled by the Iranian
duo of Meraj Sheykh and Hadi Oshtorak and Sandeep Kandola. The latter was in
full cry and showed why he is dreaded by rival raiders.
Rahul Chaudhari too was his usual self. Having started
confidently before the break he pocketed seven points in the latter half. His
heroics brought his team back from the brink of defeat. Having been dismissed
by their rivals for the second time when they were trailing 34-39, the Titans
held their nerve with Sukesh Hegde too pulling his weight. He got two points in
the dying minutes which proved crucial in the ultimate analysis.
Jaipur made silly mistakes towards the end and failed to hold
on to the lead. Jasvir was caught by Hadi and after two empty raids Rajesh
Narwal was caught by Sandeep. It left the Panthers with just a one point
advantage. But the impressive Rahul got the vital equalizer. Jasvir who was in
next went in and returned under the impression that his team had won the match.
It was a terrible mistake by the Panthers who all got it wrong. In the end it
was a fair result for both.
