Hyderabad: Puneri Paltan’s Wazir Singh, who collected 12 points, was single handedly responsible to help his team draw against the Telugu Titans in the concluding match of the Hyderabad-leg of the StarSports Pro Kabaddi League played at the Gachibowli Stadium in Hyderabad.
Wazir, who emerged the top raider in the match, seized 10 points for his raids, along with a one bonus point and earned one more for a brilliant tackle. Rahul Chaudhari, who sizzled in the last two games, fizzled out as he managed to get only one point in the entire match.
Earlier, Jaipur Pink Panthers finally ended U Mumba’s eight-match winning streak as they humbled them 35-25. Riding on Kuldeep Singh’s and Prashant Chavan’s strong defencive moves the Panthers pounced onto their rivals to register a comfortable victory.
Kuldeep, in particular impressed, with his brilliant presence of mind on the mat. Sonu Narwal also earned six points. Both Kuldeep and Prashanth effected a super tackle each to push the opposition onto the backfoot in the first half.
Just before the half-time, Panther’s Ran Singh pounced onto U Mumba’s raider to help his team end the first half with a four point lead at 15-11.
