Dabang Delhi Kabaddi Club will take on hosts U Mumba in their last clash of the ongoing edition of the Star Sports Pro Kabaddi League. The eagles will look to finish their season 3 campaign with a win against the defending champions at their den.
Here are the 3 reasons why Dabang Delhi fans can look forward to their last match:
- Raiding prowess of Anil Nimbolkar and Selvamani
Two Dabang Delhi players who can hold their heads up high after a disappointing home leg are Anil Nimbolkar and Selvamani. In the absence of star raiders like Kashiling Adake and Surjeet Singh, the 26-year old Nimbolkar took his chance and showed the Eagles' think-tank why he needs to be given more opportunities by amassing 14 points against Bengal Warriors. In his first start for the Eagles, Anil ransacked the Warriors' defence and almost single-handedly won the match for the home side.
Similarly, Selvamani has been in good form since his return from injury and his clever raiding has been appreciated by everyone in the league. Tonight’s match could be a good occasion for everyone to get an idea of how the Dabangs will operate in future.
- Defensive abilities of Sandeep Dhull
Taking defensive organisation into consideration, the Eagles’ young star defender Sandeep Dhull has provided the team with the great amount of support in order to shut down opposition attacks.
The 20-year old defender has the highest number of super tackles (5) in this edition of Star Sports Pro Kabaddi and the Eagles’ fans would be hoping for a stellar show from the team’s defensive unit.
- Fitting farewell to their ever-supportive fans
Finally, fans would expect the Eagles to end their season 3 campaign on a high after what has been a disappointing season so far, as they’ve won only one of their 13 league games this season.
With a win against the defending champions, the Eagles can go back to the drawing board and begin preparing for next season with the confidence of having beated a tough unit like U Mumba in their last match.
