Golden Raid Heartbreak For Gujarat As Jaipur Seals Dramatic Win

In a gripping Pro Kabaddi League encounter at Vishwanadh Club, Jaipur Pink Panthers snatched a dramatic win over Gujarat Giants in the Golden Raid on Tuesday.

Gujarat Giants fought till the end but lost by a narrow margin.

With raider Nitin Dhankar’s brilliance and tactical decision proving decisive.

Former Pro Kabaddi League player Rishank Devadiga noted that Gujarat Giants captain Mohammadreza Shadloui’s form in the current season reflects frustration, and the team should give him opportunities to bounce back and regain his position.

Shadloui is not just a name in Pro Kabaddi; he is the essence of the League and the Gujarat Giants, as his track record speaks for itself.

A leader and Defender like him needs early success in matches to hype up confidence.

Gujarat looked set for victory when Rakesh Sungroya’s all-out gave them a five-point cushion with barely three minutes left. However, their defensive inexperience led to them crumbling under pressure.

Reflecting on the turning point, Rishank admitted that Gujarat should have closed the game out when they led comfortably, but instead delayed, showing the patience Jaipur displayed.

The Pink Panthers’ tactical sharpness in Golden Raid, where they purposely avoided the bonus to neutralise Shadloui.

This tactical decision secured them victory.

For Gujarat Giants, this narrow loss once again exposed the defensive inexperience and Shadoui’s dip in form.

However, for the Jaipur Pink Panthers, they regained their reputation as a team that knows how to win under pressure.
