#4 Quick footed Tomar shows his moves

Nitin Tomar played well but in the end his conservative approach cost the team

The moment of the day, or shall we say the move of the day, came from UP Yoddha captain Nitin Tomar. The man bought for a whopping 93 lakh in the auctions came raiding in the 12th moment with his team behind. Prowling around the centre of the court, Tomar tried to get Somvir Shekhar with a toe touch. It was a good move considering Shekhar was the team's leading defender in the absence of Manjeet Chhillar but it didn't work as an alert Shekhar got his foot away just at the right moment.

What followed was even better as before he could blink, Tomar had transferred his weight and taken his left foot in the opposite direction to place it on defender Sunil's foot. Before anyone could realise, the show was over as a jubilant Tomar leaped back to his side after providing one of the finest toe touches in the history of Pro Kabaddi.

Seeing his quick footwork, the commentators were compelled to compare Tomar to a fine dancer as the audience heartily applauded the raider's skills.
