Pro Kabaddi League 2017 Season 5: Five talking points from Day 71 of PKL 5

#4 Jawahar Dagar, Monu Goyat shine for Patna Pirates

Monu Goyat stepped up to the plate in the raiding department for Patna Pirates.

While Pardeep Narwal had a bit of an off-day tonight, it was Patna Pirates’ secondary raider Monu Goyat who took matters into his own hands, scoring a Super 10 in his raid points. Pardeep had to spend long sessions on the bench tonight, and it was during these sessions that Monu came unto his own and got in the successful raids for his side. He even managed to get in a successful tackle to take his match tally to an impressive 11 points.

Meanwhile, Jawahar Dagar was the talisman in defence for Patna. He was as gritty as ever in defence, managing a Super Tackle and also getting in two other successful tackles. His points tally of 3 from this match may not have reflected his contribution, but Jawahar played a crucial role for Patna in this close game.
