#4 The dubki
Trending
By far the highest rewarding move in the sport, the dubki is executed at a time when the raider has practically nothing to lose. He’s cornered from all sides and as the defenders attempt to get on top of the attacker, he suddenly changes trajectory and stoops down, sliding through the gap created by the overzealous defenders under them.
Patna’s star man, Pardeep Narwal holds the crown for successfully executing the most number of dubkis. There were numerous times when the Pirates were trailing by more than 5 points when Narwal stepped up and scored a super raid using the dubki.
It’s a confidence shattering move. Veteran, Manjeet Chillar (Jaipur) and U Mumba’s Shabeer Bapu try it from time to time but Narwal’s presence of mind and nimble feet separate him from the pack.
