Kolkata: Jaipur Pink Panthers returned overwhelmed Puneri Paltan 33-27 to return to winning ways in the Pro Kabaddi at the Netaji Indoor Stadium here on Sunday.
Having lost to home team Bengal Warriors on Saturday, the inaugural edition champions looked sharp in their attacks, and were equally smart in tackling to seal their sixth win of the season.
‘Best Defender’ Amit Hooda and ‘Man-of-the Mat’ Ran Singh formed the core of their defence, while Jasvir Singh led from the front with his fruitful raids as the Jaipur franchise inflicted two allouts on the Pune outfit. It was too big a blow for the Pune franchise who trailed 9-17 at the interval as they regrouped to log 18 points in the final 20 minutes but that proved to be insufficient.
The Jaipur franchise broke away from being five-all in the first quarter when captain Singh effected an allout raid to hand them a sizeable 12-7 lead.
Singh along with ‘Best Raider’ Rajesh Narwal did the maximum damage scoring seven points each, followed by Ajay Kumar’s five points. (PTI)
