Pro Kabaddi League 2017 Season 5: 5 talking points from Day 33 of PKL 5

#2 Hegde's match turning lapse

Sukesh Hegde had another bad day in the office as skipper and raider

Sukesh Hegde’s mediocre campaign has been mostly obscured by his team’s good performances this season. But on Sunday he could not hide behind that curtain. After young Ajit had got rid of the two Iranians, the job was Hegde’s to get a do or die raid across.

Sadly, the captain, who didn't realise it was a do or die raid, came back with an empty one. That meant that Hegde had to leave the court and his team on the brink of an all out with just two men on the mat. Such an error would have made sense coming from a newbie but a team captain making such a huge mistake reflects poorly on him. The mistake turned the game as the team slipped from 8-6 to 8-13 in no time.
