#1 Inauspicious start for Patna, Jaipur move to the top of the table
After a jittery start to the season, Patna were looking to start afresh in front of their home crowd. However, they could not deliver the goods against a balanced Pink Panthers unit, that was a cut above in both attack and defense.
Pardeep Narwal, after an indifferent first half, looked to produce another miracle in the closing moments of the game but Jaipur saw the game out in the end, with Sandeep Dhull's, who had another incredible game, super tackle on Pardeep being the final nail in the coffin.
Jaipur, on the other hand, kept their distinction of being the only unbeaten team in the tournament so far intact, picking up their fourth win in four games. The result also sees them zoom towards the top of the table as they now stand on 20 points - three more than U Mumba and four more than Dabang Delhi.
