Patna Pirates Rout U Mumba for Third Straight Patna Pirates rout U Mumba for third straight win Bengaluru, February 6: Patna Pirates pulled up a huge upset in the Season 3 of Star Sports Pro Kabaddi when they clinically dismantled the aura surrounding defending champions U Mumba by a 40-26 margin with two all-outs. It was a result of great teamwork by Patna Pirates who incidentally enjoyed their first ever success over their rivals in the competition in two years. The victory is more creditable because the winners had lost their star raider, new find Rohit Kumar and then lost captain Gurpreet when he successfully tackled Rakesh Kumar early in the second half. The onslaught started with Rajesh Mondal responding with a four point super raid to Anup Kumar’s three-pointer. Even then U Mumba enjoyed a good 8-6 lead and things didn’t look good for them. But a sudden change saw Pradeep Narwal score two in a raid that led to an all-out in the 9th minute of play. From there it was only one-way traffic as the champions lost inch by inch every passing moment. Patna Pirate’s target was to nullify the rival defence especially the corner duo of Mohit Chhillar and Surendra Nada and once that objective was achieved time and again, the champions literally crumbled making the result evident with a 20-11 lead at half-time. Rajesh Mondal who was to return a haul of 8 points with Pradeep Narwal (8) was at the forefront in attack. Sandeep Narwal who is concentrating on defence at present, with lots of talent available in attack, used his bruising body blocks and ankle holds to good effect. With Sunil and Suresh Kumar too joining the hunt the U Mumba side looked helpless for once and so were their coaches E Bhaskaran and Ravi Shetty. The second half proved more disastrous as the losers were wiped off the court again. It took hardly a couple of minutes for Patna Pirates to get the remaining three out. It was 24-12 at that time. The difference wasn’t so big with about 18 minutes left but Patna Pirates had landed a major psychological victory. From thereon U Mumba kept sliding with only Anup Kumar trying to make a match of it. He ended with a creditable tally of 9 points. The ever cool captain seemed to lose his composure today and like his counterpart Manpreet picked up a yellow and a two minute suspension. Patna Pirates kept on piling the agony with relentless attacks. Rajesh won a review to pocket a crucial point at 17-28. Rakesh too tried his best but he is not the same player he was. He scored 4 points and could not make an impact against his former team. U Mumba remain on 10 points in 4th place with two wins and Patna Pirates leap to the top with 15 points in three outings with the outcome of the second match of the evening between Bengaluru Bulls and Telugu Titans still awaited. .

  • Sukesh Hegde and Prashant Rai Starred in Telugu Titans' Fifth Win In
    30 July 2015 Sukesh Hegde and Prashant Rai starred in Telugu Titans’ fifth win in Season 2 of Star Sports Pro Kabaddi at the Pataliputra Sports Complex in Patna today. The duo tore time and time again into the Patna Pirates defence to give their team an easy 34-22 victory. The win takes the Titans’ tally to 26 points as they retained their second spot in the table. Patna with only one win under their belt in four matches stay in the last position with just seven points. The teams were level in the initial stages with the lead changing hands. The half-time score of 13-12 in favour of the visitors promised a humdinger of a contest but the hosts simply collapsed under the relentless pressure exerted by the Titans’ attacking duo. Today’s performance by Sukesh and Prashant has opened up further options for the Titans which will set alarm bells ringing for their opponents. To compound the Pirates worry, the Titans’ left corner Sandeep was in irresistible form coming up with frontal blocks and waist holds to gobble up rival raiders Rakesh and Ravi Dalal to lend excellent support. The Pirates had a good start with Rakesh showing glimpses of his class. He had good support from young Sandeep Narwal who came up with two raid points and a good catch to help his team remain in the hunt. For the Titans their star and last season’s leading raider Rahul Chaudhari was totally off-colour and so was Deepak Nivas Hudda, their second string raider who also doubles up in defence.

  • Four Teams, Two Matches and All Eyes on One Prize – the Star Sports Pro Kabaddi Trophy and the Chance to Become Star Sports Pro Kabaddi Champions
    Four teams, two matches and all eyes on one prize – the Star Sports Pro Kabaddi trophy and the chance to become Star Sports Pro Kabaddi champions. The top four teams in Season 2 of Star Sports Pro Kabaddi – U Mumba, Telugu Titans, Bengaluru Bulls and Patna Pirates have fought it out with their sweat and tears after 60 matches of intense action over 32 days. But while those results have helped them get to this stage, it all boils down to one single moment for these players- The #FinalPanga. How have these four teams made it till this final hurdle – who were their star players and will they be able to step up on the big stage to make it till the end? U MUMBA The table toppers hold a highly impressive record in Season 2 with a record number of wins for a single team with 12 out of 14 matches. They have an abundance of riches which they exhibited through their equally good bench strength. They have a super star in Captain Anup Kumar. He has a steadying and calming influence on his players as he guides them successfully through any crisis. On many occasions U Mumba made successful comebacks with Anup himself leading from the front. Anup has got immense help from Rishank Devadiga the find of the last season. He has now become one of the foremost players who can be trusted for the do-or-die third empty raids. Anup and Rishank are capable defenders too, especially when it comes to supporting the main defenders Mohit Chhillar (36 tackle points) and Surendra Nada (28 tackle points), who are the right and left corners and central defender Jeeva Kumar (27 tackle points), known for his gutsy and timely tackles.

  • 21 August 15 U Mumba Entered the Finals of the Second Season of Star
    21 August 15 U Mumba entered the finals of the second season of Star Sports Pro Kabaddi with a comfortable 35-18 win over Patna Pirates at the Dome @SVP, NSCI here in Mumbai. It was a team effort by the winning team, with Anup Kumar yet again marshalling his resources like a true leader. The match saw Surender Nada and Mohit Chhillar, unleashing their ruthlessness while effecting tackle after tackle on the relatively inexperienced Patna raiders. Surender came up with 10 tackle points with one super tackle, a record for a defender. The winners fielded Shabeer Bapu Sharfudeen who too impressed in the important first session. It also proved his level of fitness for the decisive battle on Sunday when UMumba face the Bengaluru Bulls. The winners led 22-6 at the breather after inflicting two all-outs by the 11th minute and 19th minute. Patna on their part just couldn’t put up a fight as their rivals raced at break neck speed. Rishank Devadiga scored four points including a bonus, Anup came up with three and Shabeer with four to make things easy for their team. After having established a stranglehold on the match, U Mumba never relented in the second half. They even stared at an all-out but they managed to pull themselves out. At 23-10 and just three men on court in the 25th minute they were in deep trouble. But Jeeva Kumar who was also one of the pillars in U Mumba’s defence came up with a super tackle on Deepak Narwal to turn the tide.

  • 11 August 2015 There Are Places That Are Known for Being
    11 August 2015 There are places that are known for being producing some of the greatest sportspersons this world has ever seen. In India itself, the city of Mumbai is known for two of India’s greatest cricketers in Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar. But when it comes to the ancient Indian sport of kabaddi, Haryana takes that particular mantle. Kabaddi, not yet recognised as an Olympic sport, has been played at the Asian level with India dominating it at the Asian Games since it was first played at Beijing in 1990. This has strengthened its roots especially in the rural areas and the sport being known as –‘hamari maati ka khel’ is now fast gaining popularity all over the country owing to the creation of an action packed and entertaining format in Star Sports Pro Kabaddi. With names like Manjeet Chhillar (captain of Bengaluru Bulls) and Mohit Chhillar (a defender from U Mumba) grabbing the headlines in the sports pages with their thrilling performances and breath-taking tackles, these men and other players who also come from the state of Haryana and participate in Star Sports Pro Kabaddi have put their state on the sports map of India. While there is a need for organisation of the sport especially at the grass root level, this hasn’t affected the huge pool of talent that is unearthed every year with the allure of Star Sports Pro Kabaddi encouraging more fresh faces to join the sport. Taking one village as an example in Nizampur on the outskirts of Delhi and household names like Manjeet Chhillar, Anup Kumar (captain of U Mumba) and even Rakesh Kumar (Patna Pirates) are just a few of the many kabaddi players who can boast of being from Nizampur.
