Exciting Matches at Uttar Pradesh Kabaddi League

The Uttar Pradesh Kabaddi League (UPKL) Season 2 kicked off with thrilling matches at the Noida Indoor Stadium on January 3, showcasing significant victories for Ganga Kings from Mirzapur and Gazab Ghaziabad. These wins have bolstered their standings as the league approaches a critical juncture.

In their match, Ganga Kings secured their second victory of the season by overcoming Purvanchal Panthers with a score of 44-33. Despite an aggressive start from Purvanchal, who initially led by seven points, Ganga Kings tightened their defense and adjusted their strategy. The turning point came when Ganga executed an all-out, allowing them to take a three-point lead into halftime.

During the second half, Purvanchal attempted to regain control, but a remarkable three-point super raid by Amit Nagar thwarted their efforts. Ganga Kings then executed another all-out, which was crucial in extending their lead and ultimately winning the match. Team president Vedika Trivedi expressed her excitement as the team celebrated this important win.

In the other match of the day, Gazab Ghaziabad triumphed over Kanpur Warriors with a score of 34-29, solidifying their position in the top four. Gazab took charge with a series of impressive plays, including an all-out and a super raid, which helped them establish a 13-point lead. This victory was achieved even in the absence of their captain, Uday Dabas, who was rested due to discomfort. Aman Rana stepped up to lead the attack, ensuring Gazab maintained their advantage.

Although Kanpur Warriors made a strong effort to come back in the second half, reducing the deficit to five points after forcing an all-out, Gazab Ghaziabad remained composed in the final moments, tightening their defense to secure the win.
