Exciting Day 8 of Pro Kabaddi League Season 12: Haryana Steelers Win, U Mumba Thrills Fans
Day 8 of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 12 brought plenty of excitement and unforgettable moments for fans. Haryana Steelers fought hard to beat UP Yoddhas, while U Mumba delivered a dominating win against Bengaluru Bulls, thanks in part to a jaw-dropping play by Ajit Chouhan.
The match between Haryana Steelers and UP Yoddhas had plenty of tense moments, with both teams showcasing strong tactics and leadership. Fans watched closely as both sides fought fiercely, but the highlight of the day was U Mumba’s star player Ajit Chouhan.
Ajit Chouhan’s incredible six-point raid electrified the crowd and went down as one of the most memorable plays in Pro Kabaddi history. Commentator Devadiga praised Ajit’s stunning performance on JioHotstar’s KBD Live, saying, “Ajit Chouhan touched six defenders in a single raid, crossing the mid-line just as the whistle blew. That was an extraordinary moment — a raid that could have earned him seven points if he had taken a bonus, but even so, it was spectacular!”
U Mumba’s victory was also due to excellent team effort. Devadiga explained, “The match was pretty straightforward for U Mumba with Ajit Chouhan shining. The entire team played well together, and both sides showed tough tackles, keeping the game competitive.”
Analysis of the first match showed that both teams fought hard. Devadiga pointed out, “I initially thought UP Yoddhas would win, but Haryana’s Naveen Kumar was impressive. He led well and scored big raid points, especially in the second half. Rahul Ahri also stepped up as Haryana’s key defender, stopping raiders like Gagan Gowda and Bhawani Rajput—he really made that left-corner position his own.”
On the UP Yoddhas side, the team faced challenges in maintaining their momentum. Devadiga noted, “UP Yoddhas started strong with their raiders, but their defense didn’t hold up. Captain Sumit showed leadership early on, but later the team lacked cohesion. They struggled with raid distribution and didn’t adapt quickly to changing situations, which cost them the match. Bringing in players like Guman Singh could have made a difference.”
Overall, it was an action-packed day of Pro Kabaddi, with thrilling performances and key moments that kept fans on the edge of their seats. As the league progresses, teams are sure to learn from these matches and improve their game. Stay tuned for more exciting Kabaddi action!
