Pro Kabaddi League 2015 - Rematch of Last Year's Final

Last season, it was all square between these two sides as each won a match and drawing one. Jaipur Pink Panthers won the important one and took the title that too in dominating fashion with a 35-24 victory. But, this was not the case as the closely contested match was won by U Mumba with a score of 29-28. Amitabh Bachchan started the opening night by singing the national anthem.

Anup Kumar started Pro Kabaddi League season 2 off in trademark fashion looking for a toe touch on Navneet Gautam but left empty handed. Rishank Devadiga started the scoring for U Mumba and Pro Kabaddi League 2015 with a successful raid. Anup Kumar once again came in to raid after an empty Jaipur Pink Panthers raid but was caught by his favourite bunny Navneet Gautam. After 9 minutes on the clock, U Mumba seemed to be running away with a score of 9-5 thanks to a successful 3 point Shabeer Bapu raid but Jaipur Pink Panthers reduced the gap with a super-tackle on Anup Kumar for 2 points. The first half ended with the score reading 16-15 in favour of U Mumba due to a super tackle by U Mumba defender Jeeva Kumar. Most of the 1st half was fought on a level playing field with scores leads changing in favour of each side.

The second half started with a Surender Nada raid but turned out to be a dud. Jeeva Kumar put in another successful super tackle for 2 points on Sonu Narwal. U Mumba had to thank its defense for the win with super tackles on multiple occasions. It was Mohit Chillar on this occasion who put in a double thigh hold for 2 points. As we stepped into the last minute, Anup Kumar got a successful raid to increase the U Mumba lead to 2 points. The agile Jasvir Singh came in to raid and was looking for a successful raid of at least 2 points but was caught by Jeeva Kumar to possibly secure a U Mumba win. Anup Kumar came in for the buzzer raid, looking to take something special back but was caught by a super tackle which helped Jaipur Pink Panthers earn 2 points but eventually lose the match 29-28 to get their first win of Pro Kabaddi 2015.
