Trailing at 21-39, Gujarat Giants tried recovering in the third turn with Abhinandhan Patil showcasing exceptional defence technique. His stay of 4.26 minutes not only earned eight bonus points for his side but also restricted Telugu Yoddhas to just 22 points.
However, despite Patil’s heroics, Telugu Yoddhas looked in a commanding position, leading by 61-29 at the start of the final turn.
Telugu Yoddhas, the first team to claim 100 defending points in the Season 1 of India’s first-ever franchise-based Kho-Kho league, held their nerves in the last seven minutes of the game and gave away only 15 points.
