With the Bulls surging and the game in the balance at 20-24, Rohit Kumar came into raid for the Bulls with the Yoddhas reduced to just four men. But boy does it help when one of those four men is an experienced defender like Jeeva Kumar.

Previously a part of the dominant U Mumba sides, Jeeva playing in the left corner position on this raid produced a superb ankle hold to lock Rohit up and push his side's lead back up to five with just 3:48 left on the clock.

A couple of raids later, with the deficit once again just four points, Jeeva got Rohit yet again. This time playing as the right cover defender Jeeva engineered a swift dash as the Yoddhas' defence converged on Rohit and got the lead to 32-27 with 90 seconds left in the contest to slam the door shut on the Bulls' chances of a comeback.
