Pro Kabaddi 2019: Most Raid Points, Most Tackle Points (Updated) after U Mumba vs U.P. Yoddha match
After a day's break, the action resumed once again in the VIVO Pro Kabaddi League as the hosts U Mumba squared off against the out-of-form U.P. Yoddha side. In a surprising turn of events, U.P. Yoddha won the match by four points. Earlier in the day, season one winners Jaipur Pink Panthers defeated the Haryana Steelers in a lopsided encounter.
Speaking of the game between Jaipur and Haryana first, the Pink Panthers got off to a terrific start as their skipper Deepak Niwas Hooda kept the scoreboard ticking with his timely touch points. He got good support from his teammates Sandeep Dhull and Amit Hooda as Jaipur built an early lead in the contest.
