The Gujarat Fortunegiants exhibited a fine spell of play as an all-round performance from the Sunil Kumar-led side put a grinding halt to the Patna Pirates' unbeaten run In the Pro Kabaddi 2018 with a 45-27 win at the Thyagarajan Sports Complex in Delhi.
The game started on a positive note for the Fortunegiants as Sachin's running hand touch on Vikas Kale was met by a decisive chain tackle on Pardeep Narwal - which effectively opened the floodgates on the Pirates.
Such was Pardeep's inefficiency on the day that he finished with just one point from the match, his worst performance in the league while his arch-nemesis was in the form of the unstoppable Parvesh Bhainswal, who picked up eight tackle points to his credit and continued his purple patch this season.
With Parvesh wreaking havoc on one half, Sachin and Prapanjan added salt to the wound with a top show on the raiding front as they combined to pick 17 points and threw Jawahar Dagar's 'High-5' into the shadows.
In the end, the Fortunegiants decimated the Pirates to be just behind U Mumba in the Pro Kabaddi Points Table. Here are the player ratings from the match.
Patna Pirates
Pardeep Narwal - 3/10
The Patna skipper was brought down on a vast majority of his raids and collected just a single point in the entire game as he was also subbed off after his poor run in this game, which had a direct impact on the outcome of the game.
Jawahar Dagar - 7.5/10
The right corner continued from where he left off as his ankle holds proved to be the antagonist to Sachin's plan of escaping with an easy point on a number of occasions. Dagar also picked up a 'High-5 from the game.
Vikas Jaglan - 6/10
Jaglan came into the team as a raider but made a bigger impact as a defender and picked up two tackle points apart from the two raid points from six raids.
Deepak Narwal - 6/10
Deepak Narwal was in some good touch and pulled off a few clinical running hand touches that kept Patna in the hunt to reduce the lead. Yet, he was pinned down quite a few times and finished with just four raid points from 14 raids.
Manjeet - 5.5/10
Young Manjeet failed to find his feet all throughout the game as he managed to pick just one bonus point apart from two touch points in the second half and effected an ankle hold on Prapanjan.
Vikas Kale - 3/10
The cover defender was not in the best of form as he was often the target for Sachin's running hand touches while his dashes also lacked venom to bring down the raiders.
Jaideep - 4/10
The left corner defender was unlike his aggressive self as he looked unsettled in the defence unit and finished with just one tackle point from his five tackles in the game.
Substitutes
Manish - 8/10
The burly defender slotted into the cover position and proved to be a vital substitution as his holds fetched him four points but did not suffice to see his team ending on the positive side of the result.
Vijay - 6.5/10
Vijay was subbed on as the lone man on the mat and picked up a bonus point to which he added another bonus and touch point from the game.
Gujarat Fortunegiants
Sunil Kumar - 7/10
The diminutive right cover defender was in good touch as he combined with Parvesh Bhainswal to keep down the threat of Pardeep Narwal while also picking up three tackle points of his own.
Parvesh Bhainswal - 10/10
One of the main reasons for Patna's failure on the day should certainly be attributed to Pardeep Narwal's inefficiency and one man who kept him down the most was Parvesh Bhainswal, whose ankle holds and thigh holds proved too hard to handle for the Patna raiders as the cover defender finished with eight points to his credit.
K Prapanjan - 8.5/10
The lanky raider proved to be a tough prospect to handle for the faltering Patna defence as he brought out some top skills, including the diving hand touch to finish with eight raid points and one tackle point.
Sachin - 8/10
Sachin started slow but soon picked up pace in the second half as he produced a mammoth super raid in the last minutes that saw him top the charts with ten points from the game.
Ruturaj Koravi - 6/10
The right corner was more than just good on the night as he played the supporting defender's role to perfection but was a little too hasty on his tackles which gifted a few easy points to the Patna raiders.
Dong Geon Lee - 6/10
Lee brought out his agility on the mat but was used sparingly as he picked just the one point from six raids, including four empty raids.
Sachin Vittala - 7.5/10
The left corner ignited the string of issues for Pardeep Narwal as he combined with Prapanjan to bring the Patna skipper down which was Vittala's only point of the game.
Substitutes
Dharmender - 8/10
The youngster was brought on with three men left on the mat for Patna and he did a tremendous job of wiping out the whole defensive unit to produce a 'super raid' on his first raid of the night.
Lalit Chaudhary - 6/10
Lalit picked up a bonus point and was only inches away from a super raid but was pulled back by Jawahar Dagar on his raid.
Hadi Oshtorak - 7/10
The Iranian right corner was brought on in place of Dong Gein Lee and struck on his first tackle as he brought down Deepak Narwal with a clinical diving ankle hold.
