Pro Kabaddi League 2017 Season 5: Five talking points from Day 19 of PKL 5

#2 UP Yoddha fail to capitalize on Rishank's explosive performance

Rishank Devadiga was unstoppable on the night and was the top scorer in the match

Facing his former team and captain in U Mumba, Rishank Devadiga reminded everybody why he's one of the best raiders in the business and probably wanted to make a statement to his old team for letting him go.

Rishank put in an imperious performance and was unstoppable on the night as the Mumba defence simply had no answer for him. He started like a house on fire and remained brilliant throughout the match.

In just the second raid of the match for the Yoddhas, his first, he picked up a Super Raid getting rid of three Mumba men. Most raiders, even the very good ones, usually manage just one Super Raid during a match; Rishank though had two in this one. With six minutes gone in the second, the Yoddha's lead had been wiped out and the two sides were level at 20-20.

Rishank delivered a lethal blow to Mumba though with a 3-point raid that took out two of Mumba's key defenders to boost his side's chances of victory.

Rishank was tackled just thrice in the match and finished with a massive 14 raid points, a Super 10 for the night. Despite his brilliance though, his side failed to capitalize on his exploits which ended up costing them the match. The defence was a huge let down in the second half and probably they got too confident after the early lead.

Rishank was the top scorer on the night, but still ended up on the losing side.
