Puneri Paltan Vs U Mumba 03 November 2024

Full time - Puneri Paltan 35- 28  U Mumba

Phew! That was an exhilarating game of Kabaddi and it was thoroughly action packed. The Maharashtra derby is done and it has been clinched by the Puneri Paltan. The defending champions have shown again as to why they are rated so highly and Aslam Inamdar's men have clinched a 7 point win here.

Aslam Inamdar led from the front as he picked up 10 raid points for his side. He was substituted towards the end with Akash Shinde who struggled a lot. But fortunately, it didn't cost the Paltan much. Mohit Goyat was a game changer though. He picked up 9 points for the Paltan and did the job when Aslam slacked off a little. Gaurav Khatri was the star defender as he picked up 7 tackle points. He had the tough ask of stopping the onslaught by Ajit Chavan and he was successful in that. 

U Mumba struggled from the beginning as the defense couldn't really contain Aslam. Zafardanesh, the Iranian all-rounder wasn't at his best and he had to be substituted. Sunil Kumar, the captain was off form. He was targeted by the raiders and could just inflict two tackles. It was a big blemish for the U Mumba defense. Manjeet and Ajit tried their best. However the empty raids in the final few minutes meant that the game had been sealed for the Paltan heading into the final two minutes. 

Overall it was an excellent effort from the Puneri Paltan. Led by Aslam Inamdar, they're looking unstoppable in the competition at the moment. It was also a big night for Gaurav Khatri as the defender got a whopping seven points to his name. He outshone the U Mumba defenders none of whom could even reach half his number in successful tackles. In a raider heavy contest, it was always going to be the difference.
