Taking encouragement from the attack, which came roaring into action in the second half, the defence also backed up the raiders. Surjeet with his strong body blocks and Sandeep Narwal with his mighty hold claimed 5 points to reduce the Iranian team on the mat.

An unexpected man who shone in the finale was young star Nitin Tomar, who came on as a substitute and clinched 6 points on his successful raid attempts.

He combined with Ajay Thakur in Pardeep Narwal’s absence to form yet another lethal duo which left the rival defence clueless.
