The Gujarat Fortunegiants maintained their 100% win record over Dabang Delhi as the Sunil Kumar-led side cruised to a comfortable 45-38 win over their opponents at the Shaheed Vijay Singh Pathik Sports Complex in Greater Noida, UP.
Dong Geon Lee was the star of the show for Gujarat as the Korean, rewarded with a start in this game brought out his mixed bag of tricks and lured tackles from the Delhi defense to pick his first ever 'Super-10' in the history of the league.
All-rounder Rohit Gulia essayed his role as the secondary raider on a day when Sachin Tanwar failed to find his feet as the former picked up seven raid points. On the defensive front, Parvesh Bhainswal made up for his slow start as the cover defender picked up a 'High-5' and his six-point effort made up for Sunil Kumar's no-show on the day.
For Delhi, Chandran Ranjith's 'Super-10' went in vain as barring him and Naveen Kumar (8 points), none of the other players who started could contribute and it needed a six-point effort from substitute Pawan Kadian to bring them to a respectable total in the end.
At the final whistle, Gujarat rejoiced as they picked their fifth consecutive win while Delhi's third loss in a row will certainly leave them with a lot of homework to do before their next assignment. Here are the player ratings.
Dabang Delhi KC
Joginder Narwal - 5/10
Delhi's skipper did not make any hasty challenges as he picked two points from three tackles but his lack of hunger to pounce did not help Delhi's cause.
Chandran Ranjith - 8.5/10
Ranjith was in fine nick as he kept chipping away with the points and in the process also registered a 'Super 10', his second of the season as his running hand touches kept the Gujarat defenders at bay.
Naveen Kumar - 6.5/10
Naveen Kumar was good in patches as his pace and ability to travel the court did catch the Gujarat defenders off-guard, which enabled the youngster to collect eight raid points to his credit.
Vishal - 5.5/10
The young left cover defender made quite a few hasty dashes and tackles as he finished with two points from seven tackles and on more than one occasion, gifted away easy points to the opposition.
Yogesh Hooda - 4.5/10
Yogesh Hooda's famous ankle holds went missing in this game as the all-rounder could not contribute much, with just two points, one from a bonus point and the other through a dash.
Ravinder Pahal - 4/10
The 'Hawk' had a woeful day out as he often went in for advance ankle holds and his solo tackles were not enough to keep the Gujarat raiders down as the experienced right corner had just one point to his credit.
Vishal Mane - 4/10
Vishal Mane's relatively quiet season thus far continued as the veteran defender could not pick up a single point from his two tackles.
SUBSTITUTES
Pawan Kadian - 7/10
Pawan's unlucky spell continued as he started off from the benches yet again but was in good touch as he managed to keep the deficit from going off control with six raid points.
Gujarat Fortunegiants
Sunil Kumar - 4/10
The Gujarat skipper looked off-colour against Delhi as he picked up just one point and was often seen making advance tackles and blocks very close to the mid-line.
Dong Geon Lee - 8/10
The Korean had some pace in his raids and with vicious kicks and quick running hand touches, Lee was a force to reckon with as the Gujarat raider picked his first Super-10 of the season.
Rohit Gulia - 7/10
Rohit Gulia's good start propelled him to yet another commendable show as the youngster finished with seven raid points and more importantly, ensured that the Delhi defenders had no upper hand over his nippy raiding.
Parvesh Bhainswal - 7.5/10
Having missed out from a 'High-5' on two occasions this season, Bhainswal left no stone unturned as he lifted the spirits of his fellow defenders with some crucial ankle holds and also came out with some excellent support to finish with six tackle points.
Sachin Vittala - 7/10
The left corner defender played an imperative role in supporting his fellow defenders and was also in good touch himself, effecting a super tackle at a crucial juncture in the game.
Sachin Tanwar - 6/10
The lanky raider looked a far cry from his usual standards as he failed to get off the blocks and picked just five raid points from 14 raids.
Ruturaj Koravi - 5.5/10
Koravi started off with promise but faded off in the second half as he finished with just two tackle points from seven tackles.
SUBSTITUTES
K Prapanjan - 7.5/10
Prapanjan started off on the bench yet again and was subbed in at a crucial moment when his team was down to just one man on the mat as he responded in fine fashion, picking up a bonus and also a touch point to keep his team from falling to an all-out.
Amit - 3/10
Amit was subbed in during the second half with a super tackle opportunity on offer but his inability to retreat in time saw Ranjith getting a hand touch and reducing Gujarat to one man on the mat.
