Gujarat Giants Head Coach Ram Mehar Singh Reflects on Key Victory Against U Mumba

Pune, Dec 9 (NationPress) In the competitive arena of the Pro Kabaddi League, emerging talents frequently take center stage as surprising heroes. On Sunday at the Badminton Hall in Balewadi Stadium, Rohit proved to be that hero for Gujarat Giants, clinching a thrilling 34-33 victory over U Mumba. Head coach Ram Mehar Singh openly praised the young defender’s outstanding performance.

"Rohit is a young player with limited experience and match exposure. We’ve relied on Jitender Yadav in numerous matches, and although he has had good performances, when he falters, we turn to Rohit. Today, he truly stepped up," Singh elaborated.

The match’s critical moment unfolded in the dying seconds. In the last two minutes, Rohit executed two pivotal tackles. He first brought down Ajit Chouhan and then tackled Manjeet. These defensive maneuvers were vital in applying pressure on U Mumba as the Gujarat Giants aimed to enhance their gameplay.

Although star raiders Guman Singh and Rakesh made significant contributions to the score, it was Rohit’s defensive strength that ultimately secured the win. The coach’s strategy was straightforward: never settle for a draw.

"We weren’t playing for a tie. Our aim was to go all out, to give everything until the very end. Regardless of the outcome, we adhere to this philosophy," he stated, as the team gears up for a challenging series of matches in the final fortnight of the league stage.
