Aslam & Mohit help Puneri Paltan outclass UP Yoddha

Bengaluru: Puneri Paltan’s young stars helped the side beat U.P. Yoddha 44-38 in their Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) match here on Thursday.

Mohit Goyat picked up 14 raid points and was ably supported by Aslam Inamdar with 12 (including 3 tackle points). The victory will help Pune’s chances of making it to the playoffs after a jittery start to their campaign. Surender Gill fetched 16 points for UP Yoddha but didn’t get the support he needed from his teammates.

Pune’s defence also had a stellar night, hunting down raiders in packs, with Abinesh Nadarajan and Sombir leading them. Coach Anup Kumar’s team infl icted an early ALL OUT in the eighth minute to race to an eight-point lead. Aslam Inamdar also contributed to the defence with two tackle points.
