The mach saw arguably the best all rounder in kabaddi show the world exactly what he is made up off. Manjeet Chillar, Bengaluru’s captain showed his worth in defence as well as raiding as he seemed miles ahead of anyone in the competition. It seemed like there was not a raider who could escape his grasp while his raiding was on par with that of Ajay Thakur.

Ajay Thakur made a comeback after 2 games in this match and he immediately proved his worth to the team, ending up being the highest point scorer for Bangalore. He started off in amazing fashion as his first 3 raids resulted in three points, at which point the Bulls lead by 7-3.
The Bengal Warriors started a mini comeback at this point as they dismissed both Ajay Thakur and Manjeet Chillar as they tied the score line at 10 minutes mark. But after that it was all Bengaluru as they just kept on amassing points as they ended the first half at 15-12.

The second half saw the Bulls in prime form as they scored points after points and executed tackles after tackles, driving the Bengal Warriors completely out of the game.

Since the Bengal Warriors are already out of the tournament, the defeat will do the  little harm. But the Bulls will take solace on this victory as it makes their semi finals chances even brighter.
