We've had an absolute blast covering the game live for all of you and we hope you have enjoyed the coverage as well! This tournament can only see Indian Kabaddi witnessing a meteoric rise with more young players coming into the fray that promises a bright future for the sport!
From all of us at Sportskeeda, we thank you for joining us in covering the championships. This is Prasen Moudgal, signing off!
The Maharashtra players are jumping around, running around in circles and why not?! It's an amazing victory which will be remembered for years to come!
Rishank Devadiga, the champion skipper has led his Maharashtra team to a 34-29 victory to clinch the 65th 2017 Senior National Kabaddi Championships!
Rishank Devadiga has undoubtedly been the star of the championships for Maharashtra and his 18 points in the game including a SUPER RAID in the start and in the end has taken his team across the line!
Oh, no Services! Pressure gets to skipper Surjeet and he goes in for a very very bad tackle only a couple of steps away from the mid-line. Tushar Patil scores a point!
Defending champions Services will hope for a revival in fortunes in the second half but that will be a herculean task, given the pressure that will be playing antagonist to their style of play.
The score-line at halftime reads 17-12 in favour of Maharashtra who have been put on a clinical display today.
Skipper Rishank has yet again enjoyed a fabulous outing while Nilesh Salunke's inefficiency has been masked by the defence unit's contribution to the scoreline.
Rishank gives Maharashtra a life-line in the buzzer raid yet again! Picks up a bonus point and powers his way through a dash from Mahender to end the first half with some momentum.
Yet another two-point raid for Monu Goyat! Gets a touch on the right corner and pushes away the dash from the right corner. He's giving the Services some hope here.
