Two points for Jaipur! 8-5.

Jaipur Panthers' Jasvir's claim is incorrect, but Surender Nada had stepped on the yellow box, so both teams get a point!

Mumbai 4-3 Jaipur at the moment.

Brilliant block by U Mumba's Vishal Mane to get Sonu Narwal out.

The signature thigh 5 from Rajesh Narwal as he picks up his first point of the season! #RoarForPanthers
