Pro Kabaddi League 2017: Haryana Steelers defeat Gujarat Fortune Giants by 32-20
PKL Season 5: Haryana Steelers crushes Gujarat Fortune Giants
Haryana Steelers ended Gujarat Fortune Giants’ unbeaten run with a 32-20 win in the Pro Kabaddi League in Nagpur on Tuesday.
Vikas Khandola was one of the stars for Gujarat. He led the way with some wonderful raids which included a moment of brilliance when he was caught by the rival defenders but managed to touch the line with his legs.
Gujarat fought back strongly after a moderate first half but the Steelers’ impressive play kept them ahead. They never allowed Gujarat any leeway and ran away to a convincing win.
With seven minutes to go, Haryana led 18-11 and the best efforts of the Gujarat Fortune Giants raider yielded nothing positive.
It was a rather slow first half-match in the encounter between the strong Haryana Steelers and Gujarat Fortune Giants.
Surjeet Singh set the ball rolling for the Steelers after Sukesh Hegde won the toss for Gujarat Fortune Giants and opted for the left hand side of the court.
Surjeet got two points for Haryana with his first raid as the men in blue looked to be front runners.
It took five minutes for the Gujrat franchise to get on the board as Vikas Khandola came up with an unsuccessful raid. Haryana Steelers, buoyed by the good work of Kandola, kept accumulating the points before the opponent managed to fight back.
After 18 minutes of play, the two teams were level on points as Gujarat’s defence rose to the occasion.
