Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 ka maidan kal ek aur dhamakedar match ka gawah bana. Tamil Thalaivas ne Bengaluru Bulls ko 35-29 se hara kar ek badi jeet hasil ki. Ye jeet sirf points table ke liye important nahi thi, balki ek statement bhi tha ki Thalaivas ab sirf underdog team nahi, balki serious contender hain.
Sach kahu toh maine khud socha tha ki Bulls apna winning streak continue karenge, kyunki wo last 4 matches lagataar jeet chuke the. Lekin kabaddi ka asli maza hi uski unpredictability me hai – aur wahi kal dekhne ko mila.
Match ke shuruaat me Bengaluru Bulls ne full confidence ke sath khelna start kiya. Raiders aur defenders dono apne rhythm me the. First half ke end tak Bulls 20-14 ki lead bana chuke the.
Stadium me fans ka shor Bulls ke har raid par aur loud ho raha tha. Mujhe bhi laga ki Thalaivas ki team pressure handle nahi kar pa rahi. Lekin kabaddi ka asli rang dusre half me hi khilta hai, aur wahi yaha bhi hua.
Second half start होते ही Tamil Thalaivas ne apna gear badal diya. Arjun Deshwal ne ek ke baad ek raid points le kar pura game hi palat diya. Unhone Super 10 complete karte hi fans ko apne hero banne par majboor kar diya.
Arjun ka attacking style aur confident body language dekh kar mujhe apne college ke kabaddi tournament yaad aa gaye, jaha ek player pura match badal deta tha. Waise hi Deshwal ne kal Bulls ki defence tod ke rakh di.
Bengaluru Bulls ki taraf se Iranian star Alireza Mirzaian ne bhi kamal dikhaya. Unhone bhi Super 10 pura kiya aur kai baar team ko mushkil waqt se bahar nikala. Lekin unka effort akela pada gaya.
Kabaddi ek team game hai – aur yahi difference dekhne ko mila. Bulls ke baaki players Arjun ke raiding storm ke saamne apna best nahi de paaye. Mujhe laga tha ki Mirzaian ka experience aur fighting spirit kaafi hogi, par destiny kuch aur likh chuki thi.
Raiders ke alawa Thalaivas ka defence bhi kal badiya raha. Narender Kandola ne ek crucial tackle kar ke poora momentum Thalaivas ki taraf khinch liya.
Defence kabaddi ka backbone hota hai. Jab tackle successful hota hai toh pura stadium garaj uthta hai – aur kal bhi waise hi hua. Mujhe khud laga ki defence ne jitna self-belief team ko diya, wahi unki jeet ki asli wajah bani.
Agar mujhse puchho toh match ka asli turning point wo tha jab dusre half ke shuruaat me Thalaivas ne ek mini all-out force kiya. Uske baad Bulls kabhi properly comeback nahi kar paaye.
Fans ka junoon bhi dekhne layak tha. TV screen ke saamne baith kar bhi maine unki energy feel ki. Har raid pe “oooh” aur “yes!” waali awaaz stadium se nikal kar seedhe dil tak aa rahi thi.
Ye jeet Thalaivas ke liye sirf ek victory nahi, ek warning hai baaki teams ke liye. Agar Arjun Deshwal aur Narender Kandola jaise players consistently form me rahe, toh ye team playoffs me easily ja sakti hai.
Mujhe lagta hai ki ab unhe apna mid-game strategy aur balance aur improve karna hoga. Kyunki strong teams ke against ek half kharab khelna kabhi kabhi jeet ke chance khatam kar deta hai.
Tamil Thalaivas ne Bengaluru Bulls ki winning streak tod kar sabko surprise kar diya. 35-29 ka ye score sirf ek result nahi, balki kabaddi ki unpredictability aur fighting spirit ka example tha.
Meri nazar me kal ke match ka hero Arjun Deshwal hi the, lekin defence aur crowd support bhi equally credit deserve karte hain.
Aur haan, ek baat fir se clear ho gayi – Kabaddi sirf ek game nahi, yeh ek junoon hai jo har fan ke dil me dhadakta hai.
