#3 Anup’s first half
The Pro Kabaddi League has seen several fine all rounders yet no one fits the term better than U Mumba captain Anup Kumar. Apart from raiding and defending, the man is involved in the game all the time he is on the mat with his proactive captaincy. He excelled in all three departments in the game against the Bengal Warriors and gave the moment of the first half. First, he provided a brilliant example of an ankle hold and brought down a Bengal raider.
But it was what he did next that left a few jaws dropped in the stadium. Up against Rann Singh and Bhupinder Singh and with an All Out opportunity lurking around the corner, Anup Kumar displayed exceptional escape skills when he overcame the big Bhupinder who for once seemed to have the U Mumba captain in his grasp.
It later emerged that Rann Singh had already done a self out and his challenge was illegal in the first place but it could do nothing to diminish the awesomeness of Kumar’s raid effort.
