#4 Jasvir Singh delivers against U Mumba, again

Jasvir Singh was the star on the night for the Panthers

The wily raider rose to the occasion and scored nine points, helping Jaipur Pink Panthers defeat their biggest rivals, U Mumba 36-32 in a high-octane, ill-tempered clash.

The rivalry between Jaipur and Mumbai goes back to the first season of the Pro Kabaddi League, when the Panthers lifted the trophy, defeating the team from Mumbai in the final, with Jasvir Singh putting in a great performance.

Their encounter earlier in the season also saw tempers flare, with Jasvir shown a yellow card and given a two-minute suspension for arguing against the referee's calls. U Mumba skipper Anup Kumar had hit out at Jasvir's behaviour post the encounter.

Playing with a chip on his shoulder, the Jaipur raider used all his experience, raiding smartly, wasting time well and improvising with his ability to engage in constant discussions and fights with the opposition and the referees to give his team the advantage.
