Pro Kabaddi: Surender Gill’s unbeaten super 10 helps UP Yoddhas beat Telugu Titans by 44-24
After suffering from a patchy run of form, UP Yoddhas raider Surender Gill announced his return to the points. And that too in some great style.
The 24-year-old raider came into the game when they needed him the most. Playing against the bottom dwelling team Telugu Titans, UP found themselves in troubled waters.
With their top raider Pradeep Narwal on the bench, they wanted someone to step up. And their best raider for the season decided to take his chances.
The first seven minutes of the game were very tense as the Titans fought bravely. And kept the scores levelled along with getting Pradeep Narwal on the bench.
