Pro Kabaddi League 2015 - Dabang Delhi overcome a Spirited Fightback from Puneri Paltan, U Mumba make it 6 out 6 Wins

Day 7 of Pro Kabaddi League 2015 and we had the home side Puneri Paltan squaring off against Dabang Delhi at Netaji Indoor Stadium. Kashiling Adake and Rohit Kumar Chaudhary made some superb raids to put Dabang Delhi ahead at half time as the scores read 25-11 in their favour. Rohit Kumar Chaudhary had 2 super raids earning him a total of 7 raid points whereas Kashiling Adake had the one for a tally of 3 points. Wazir Singh was the lone ranger for Puneri Paltan as he kept fighting for his team. And it was this fighting spirit which helped him earn 7 points from his first 4 raids of the 2^nd half to bring the deficit down to 4 points. With Dabang Delhi facing an all-out, Pravin Niwale came in to raid and got 2 of their defenders for a successful raid. Sandeep Tomar was their last man standing and while looking to revive some of his team-mates got caught the Paltan’s defense for an all-out. The comeback of this Pro Kabaddi League 2015 tie seemed to be complete with Puneri Paltan leading 31-32 as only 7 minutes remained in this game. But, mind you, the game of Kabaddi is not gaining ground in India for no reason. As we entered the last minute of the game, scores were level and in stepped Wazir Singh for the buzzer raid. Was the comeback complete? Oh, I almost forgot, it was a do-or-die-raid. He had to go all out to get the Puneri Paltans the win. Looking for a touch, he got tackled successfully which led to Dabang Delhi getting the win by a point. Wazir Singh and Puneri Paltan were left heartbroken as Dabang Delhi rejoiced in their opponents backyard.

In the 2^nd match of the night, Bengal Warriors faced U Mumba who had a 100% win record to defend. Anup Kumar, the man India loves to watch, started off the proceedings for U Mumba but was pushed off the court in splendid fashion by a solo effort from Bajirao Hodage. At half-time, U Mumba were slightly ahead at 11-9 with Mohit Chillar tackling Mahendra Ganesh Rajput using a WWE-like two-handed Spinebuster. 

After 32 minutes, U Mumba trailed 23-16. Anup Kumar took upon himself the challenge of getting U Mumba back into the game and did so in grand style with a super raid of 3 points.
