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

#3 Jasvir Singh vs Abozar Mighani showdown

Despite leading his team well, Jasvir Singh has left a lot to be desired

Honesty is not Jasvir Singh’s strongest suit and it has been a source of constant annoyance for referees and opposing teams alike. Even on Sunday, Jasvir tried his hand at some bluff while on the kabaddi mat. After being demolished by the Fortunegiants defence in an unsuccessful raid, Jasvir pointed at left corner Fazel Atrachali and indicated to the linesman that the Iranian was self out, which replays revealed was far from a fair claim.

With the match almost in the pocket in the second half, Jasvir again came in to raid in the last few minutes of the game and this time claimed to have taken right corner Mighani with a touch. Much to his joy, the referees confirmed it but Mighani was sure that there wasn’t any touch. Words were exchanged between the two and Jasvir had to be shown a card. Mighani, on the other hand, wasn’t ready to leave the court but had to eventually since the review had been exhausted in the third minute itself.
