U Mumba, Bengal Warriors Have the Edge U MUMBA, BENGAL WARRIORS HAVE THE EDGE Mumbai, February 29: Defending champions U Mumba and Bengal Warriors have an edge over their rivals Telugu Titans and Bengaluru Bulls as the Season 3 of the Star Sports Pro Kabaddi enters the penultimate day of the league phase. How the drama unfolds will depend on the result of the U Mumba-Puneri Paltan match on Monday which is critical to the prospects of the Telugu Titans. With U Mumba having qualified for the play-offs the fight for the last two berths is between Puneri Paltan, Bengal Warriors and Telugu Titans with the last named in a disadvantageous position. Both Puneri Paltan and Bengal Warriors are almost there with 42 points and only a miracle can help the Telugu Titans. Puneri Paltan and Bengal Warriors need a couple of points to pip Telugu Titans who have 38 points and can finish with 43 points with a win against U Mumba. Therefore the dice will be heavily loaded against the Telugu Titans. If Puneri Paltan win against their traditional Maharashtra rivals U Mumba then whatever Telugu Titans faintest hopes, they might have well receded. So it all boils down to the match on Monday. A draw on Monday is enough to see Puneri Paltan going through and their record of three draws this season speaks a lot. Therefore the match between Bengal Warriors and Bengaluru Bulls will be watched more keenly. A win will see the Bengal Warriors advance. There is no reason why they should not beat the team from the South whom they have had convincing win against by a margin of 10 points in the first leg. Like Jaipur Pink Panthers the Bengaluru Bulls side is beset with injuries and taking on an opponent who will be in full war cry will be a tough ask. Jang Kun Lee and Nitin Tomar have been almost unstoppable and to expect Bengaluru Bulls to dismantle these machines is expecting too much. The Bengal Warriors defence is rock solid save for an aberration or two from Bajirao Hodage and the Captain Nilesh Shinde. It has posed huge problems for rival raiders. With only Deepak Dahiya and Pawan Kumar in their ranks Bengaluru Bulls will find it difficult to make a dent in Bengal Warriors’ citadel. As analysed, the U Mumba and Telugu Titans match should turn out to be only of academic interest, barring the big ifs and buts which are sometimes associated to sports. If at all the Telugu Titans have an outside chance then like anyone who is wounded they will make last ditch efforts for survival. But that will not affect U Mumba’s chances and the latter may or may not fight depending on how they intend chalking their knockout campaign. They might not field their core team to avoid injuries and gain some valuable rest or may prefer to go all-out for a win so as to keep the winning momentum going. .

  • 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.

  • Bringing up the Rear Without a Win Each Are Puneri Paltan and Last
    28 July 2015 Season 1 finalists, U Mumba seem to be replaying history repeating their successful run with their sixth straight win in Season 2 of Star Sports Pro Kabaddi. Can they finish on top with an unbeaten record? That will be answered come Saturday when they play Dabang Delhi who have had a mixed bag of success having won two of their four matches till date and lie in fourth place behind Telugu Titans and Bengaluru Bulls. Both the teams from the South have four wins each from five outings with the Titans placed in second spot having tallied 21 points to 20 gained by the Bulls. Right now, the top three are well placed and a good second leg will assure them a place in the play-offs. Bringing up the rear without a win each are Puneri Paltan and last season’s champions Jaipur Pink Panthers with just three points as a result of having managed to lose three of their matches each by a margin of less than seven points. Placed above them are injury-hit Bengal Warriors and Patna Pirates. Both have seven points in five and three matches respectively. The latter are scheduled to play their next four matches at home in Patna before the caravan moves into the second half of Season 2 and will be hoping to improve their standing with support from the home crowd. The Pirates start their campaign on home turf with a tough encounter against Telugu Titans followed by a meeting with Dabang Delhi, Puneri Paltan and Bengal Warriors in that order.
