Pro Kabaddi PKL 8- U Mumba vs Gujarat Giants Draw: Gujarat started the match strongly with Rakesh S and Ajay Kumar handling the bulk of the raiding duties. They made most out of a hesitant U Mumba defence in the initial minutes. At the other end, Abhishek Singh and Ajith Kumar took turns to raid for the Mumbai team. Ajith looked like he had recovered from the back injury he suffered earlier in the season and moved effortlessly around the mat.

But it was the Gujarat defence who dominated the first half with three tackle points more than U Mumba. At the break, the scores were 13-10 with no All Outs inflicted. Mumbai’s lack of conviction was the main theme of the first 10 minutes after the restart. Hesitation to go for tackles and slow movement in the raids meant Gujarat had a 5-point lead at the first Time Out.
