#2 A Mohit Chhillar inspired comeback
The Gujarat Fortunegiants have been the form team in Season 5 thus far. However, if there has been one side that has troubled them, it is the Haryana Steelers. The Steelers won the first contest and the second ended in a dramatic tie.
After a patchy performance defensively, the Fortunegiants picked up the slack in the second and established an 11-point lead over their opponents, up 26-14 in just over four minutes into the second half, about to inflict a second All Out and in position to finally beat the Steelers.
Right corner Mohit Chhillar was the last man standing for the Steelers and with Haryana to raid, the coach opted to not bring a raider in and let Mohit go in for the raid. The commentators were in shock as to why the Steelers were allowing Mohit to go into raid while the Fortunegiants probably couldn't believe that the All Out was now all but a mere formality.
Mohit though had other ideas.
He took it up as a challenge, stayed calm, ate up enough time and forced the Fortunegiants into a slip-up. Sachin, Gujarat's lead raider went in for a rash tackle and Mohit retreated in time to get him out along with Abozar who came in for support. It was a defining moment in the game and perhaps THE turning point. That All Out would have surely put the game beyond reach for Gujarat, but instead two Steelers were revived and on Gujarat's next Do or Die raid, Mohit engineered a Super Tackle that further ate into the Fortunegiants' lead, just 26-18 now.
The above sequence of events sent the Fortunegiants tumbling and from being down to one and facing an All Out, the Steelers instead were the ones to force an All Out and Gujarat's lead was down to just three points at 28-25 with 10 minutes still remaining.
The Steelers didn't stop there though and used their momentum to good effect to inflict a second All Out and take the lead in the contest 35-29 with five minutes to go. Wazir Singh was brilliant, effecting both All Outs with two men on the court.
It was a 21-3 run from the Steelers in just 10 minutes. Mohit started it with that amazing raid and marshaled the defence excellently with Surender Nada on the bench cooling his heels. He even captained the side expertly with his senior partner off.
A spectacular collapse from the Fortunegiants, but also all credit to the Steelers as they refused to throw in the towel and played some brilliant kabaddi themselves, led by Mohit Chhillar.
