Pro Kabaddi League 2017 Season 5: Five talking points from Day 13 of PKL 5

#5 A raider thrown out for not chanting 'kabaddi'

Fazel didn't have much to do but had an embarrassing moment when he went in for a raid

With the Fortunegiants leading 27-15 with about 9 minutes to go, their star defender Fazel Atrachali came into raid, presumably for an empty raid, as a means of killing time.

However, after he'd taken a few steps and setting himself up for the raid, he was stopped by the sound of the referee's whistle. Post the whistle, the umpires were seen gesturing to Fazel that he was out.

The Iranian looked completely stumped before the umpires explained that he had stopped his chant of 'kabaddi' after his first few seconds in the opponents' half. It was quite a first to see a raider be given out for not uttering the basic chant while raiding.
