Kolkata, December 26: Gujarat Fortunegiants produced an excellent second half performance to beat defending champions Patna Pirates 37-29 in a VIVO Pro Kabaddi League match on Wednesday.
Sunil Kumar with a high five marshaled the defence superbly for Gujarat Fortunegiants. Rohit Gulia with 10 points and Ajay Kumar with 8 points led the raiding charge.
Despite getting a super 10 Pardeep Narwal missed two raids in the last two minutes as Patna are now staring at an elimination. Patna Pirates can still make it to the playoffs if UP Yoddha don’t win against Bengal Warriors.
Patna Pirates in the first half relied on Pardeep Narwal’s raid points as they maintained a lead. Gujarat Fortunegiants’ defence got their first tackle point in the 7th minute to trail 5-6.
It's 'sweet' revenge for @Fortunegiants in the City of Joy! 😁
