Even though his team finished on the losing side, U Mumba captain Anup Kumar is slowly crawling back to his best. And when at his best, he can do some jaw dropping things. And jaw dropping is exactly how one would describe his tackle of Titans raider Vinoth Kumar.

The fans at Lucknow were treated to a special moment by Anup Kumar when he was challenged by a raiding Vinoth Kumar. There were not too many U Mumba defenders left on the mat when the raider threatened the left flank but Kumar didn't really need any support as he held Vinoth by his leg, and to ensure he didn't try escaping, pulled him back with such ferocity that he almost ended up drawing an arc with a struggling Vinoth on the mat.

The commentator rightly quipped that it appeared as if Kumar was not a kabaddi player but an exponent of Hammer Throw.
