Despite scoring only two points, Manjeet Chhillar had a role in almost every point scored by the Jaipur Pink Panthers in the match.

Chhillar was the team's on-mat coach, manoeuvring his teammates strategically, changing the position of the defensive line, deciding who would go to raid and funnily enough, playing pacifier to calm Jasvir down when his teammate lost his temper.

Watching him in action on the mat was akin to watching Jose Mourinho pull off his defensive masterclass for Inter Milan against Barcelona in the Champions League, that is how impressive a performance it was!

The Pink Panthers were in the contest right until the moment Manjeet failed to get a touch on his do or die raid and had to go out.

Gujarat pounced on his absence and took a decisive step to win the match, taking the score from 21-18 to 29-23.
