#2 Ajay Thakur is the standout raider in the first half
The match between the rivals was incredibly close from the start as the two sides did well defensively on the mat. However, there was only one raider who managed to make his mark on the game and it was none other than the Indian captain Ajay Thakur. The skipper led from the front as he managed to offset the struggling Rahul Chaudhari and Pardeep Narwal, who found it tough against the Pakistani defense.
Thakur moved swiftly all across the mat and scored the first point of the match and kept garnering points almost at will with his long reach and movement. He almost scored an all-out on Pakistan but his 4-point raid was overturned by the umpire review and Pakistan escaped. Ajay Thakur ended up with a tally of 8 points.
