#5 Captain Hooda’s Super Raid
With a trail of 10 points already weighing heavy on the U Mumba players minds, they made a mistake that just put the match out of their reach even with 15 minutes left on the clock. Already with his tail up, Deepak Niwas Hooda came to take a raid with just three U Mumba players on the mat.
Looking already sloppy, the U Mumba defence showed no coordination as they tried to tackle Hooda but ended up making a mess of it eventually to allow Hooda to take three men over the line. With a Super raid, Hooda not only brought his team 5 vital points but almost sealed the fate of the match as the score read 25-10 in the favour of the men in orange. Some valiant Kabaddi followed from U Mumba skipper Anup Kumar but it could only reduce the Puneri Paltan's victory margin as the rest failed to step up when it mattered.
