In a thrilling encounter at the Noida Indoor Stadium, Dabang Delhi K.C. showcased an exceptional performance, defeating U.P. Yoddhas 35-25 in a Pro Kabaddi League Season 10 match on Saturday. The match was a testament to Dabang Delhi K.C.'s dominance, led by raider Ashu Malik’s outstanding 11-point haul and a solid 5-point contribution from defender Ashish.
The early stages of the game saw Dabang Delhi K.C. utilizing their home advantage effectively. Ashu Malik's Super Raid, a highlight of the match's opening minutes, propelled his team into the lead. This raid set the tone for the match, with Dabang Delhi K.C. maintaining a consistent and commanding presence on the mat. In a strategic play, they inflicted the first All Out of the game, taking a notable 13-7 lead against U.P. Yoddhas.
The first half was a showcase of high-octane raiding by both teams. However, defense seemed to take a back seat, with both teams managing only five tackle points each. In the absence of Naveen Kumar, Dabang Delhi K.C.’s raiders worked in tandem, amassing 13 points to ensure their team kept the lead as the first half came to a close.
The second half saw a more resilient U.P. Yoddhas attempting to bridge the gap. They gradually reduced the lead, putting Dabang Delhi K.C. under pressure. However, a pivotal Super Tackle by Yogesh on Pardeep Narwal turned the tide back in Delhi’s favor. This move was further bolstered when U.P. Yoddhas’ defender Nitesh Kumar received a yellow card for ill-discipline, giving Delhi a significant advantage to extend their lead.
While the first half was dominated by raiders, the second half saw defenders stepping up their game. U.P. Yoddhas, in a desperate attempt to recover, spent the final minutes with just three players on the mat. But for every tackle they executed, Delhi responded with equal intensity.
The climax of the match was marked by an extraordinary raid by Ashu Malik in the final moments. With the victory already in sight, Malik launched an audacious raid, successfully tagging all three U.P. Yoddhas players, resulting in a second All Out and sealing a spectacular win for Dabang Delhi K.C. This victory not only highlighted their raiding prowess but also underscored their strategic acumen and defensive strength, making it a memorable match in the Pro Kabaddi League Season 10.
