How Did Joginder Narwal’s ‘Clinical and Aggressive’ Approach Spark Dabang Delhi’s Remarkable Comeback?

Jaipur, Sep 18 (NationPress) Head coach Joginder Narwal of Dabang Delhi K.C. expressed his joy following the team’s impressive comeback victory against Telugu Titans at the SMS Indoor Stadium in Jaipur on Wednesday.

The league leaders achieved a 33-29 triumph, marking their sixth consecutive win, thanks to a comprehensive team effort.

In the post-match media briefing, Narwal revealed the motivating words he shared with his players to inspire the turnaround. “In the first half, Neeraj struggled with a few catches. I emphasized to him that he must be more clinical and aggressive in his raiding, or else we risk losing the match.”

“Following that, he secured three points in a single raid, which boosted the morale of the entire team. It was a challenging match, so I commend the entire squad for their excellent performance in both raiding and defense to achieve this win,” he noted.

Dabang Delhi K.C. trailed by five points at halftime, but crucial contributions from Fazel Atrachali and Saurabh Nandal, along with their raiders, enabled them to clinch victory in a tightly contested match.

Reflecting on the final moments, especially during Akshit’s remarkable Super Raid, Fazel Atrachali commented, “With just three seconds left, Akshit was still in play, and we felt the tension. That’s the thrill of kabaddi, making it an engaging sport for fans. Excitement is ever-present.”

Further acknowledging the influence of their coach and the team’s strong performance, Fazal remarked, “This showcases how Dabang Delhi K.C. is equipped with talented players, like Akshit, who can make impactful contributions off the bench. Neeraj, Ajinkya, and Akshit all played pivotal roles today, exemplifying true teamwork. If we maintain our synergy, we can outmatch any opponent,” concluded Fazel.
