UP Yoddha beat defending champions Bengaluru Bulls by a scoreline of 35-33 at the Eka Arena by TransStadia, Ahmedabad, in one of the most closely contested games of Pro Kabaddi Season 2019, today. The win helped UP Yoddha climbed to the 10th spot.
UP Yoddha were off to the worst possible start, however, they crawled their way back, winning 1, and getting ties in 2 of their last 4 games.
The game was fairly even uptill the mid of the second half, however, UP Yoddha got some late momentum going, which helped them register only their second win of the season.
Pawan Sehrawat was phenomenal, but had to yet again spend a large share of time on the sidelines, helping UP Yoddha immensely in their triumph. Captain Nitesh Kumar got the better of Pawan Sehrawat right at the crunch moment to help UP Yoddha get ahead in the game.
Shrikant Jadhav was the star in the raiding department, while Sumit had a phenomenal game at the left corner of defence.
