The Patna Pirates got off to a quick start in this one as they took a quick 7-2 lead. Down to one man and facing an All Out, Bhupender Singh crossed the mid-line to go into raid for the Warriors. He had been subbed in just minutes ago for lead raider Maninder Singh.

Bhupi is one of the smartest and calmest players in Pro Kabaddi and is very good in pressure situations. Not only did he stave off an All Out for the Warriors here, he managed to pick up a Bonus and a touch point to make it a 2-point raid to draw his side closer to 4-8.

He wasn't done there though. With the revival, the Warriors now had two men and on the Pirates' subsequent raid, Bhupi helped effect a Super Tackle on Monu Goyat to net his side another two points and bring the score closer to 6-8.

Just another instance of Bhupi magic from this very underrated performer.
