Pro Kabaddi League finals 
Patna Pirates
Stole the show beating hot favourites and defending champions U MUMBA, who were on a 12match winning streak
31-28
in a pulsating edge of the seat thriller, which was much more enthralling, exciting than most of the movies bollywood has to offer.
The Star for the winners was Sandeep Narwal
again, when he tagged 3 in dying seconds of the match to break U Mumba’s back, after Mumba’s skipper Anup Kumar
and player of the tournament for many had pulled of 8 points from 5 raids which even superman would feel grate to level the score 28-28.
Most successful raider of the tournament Rishank Devadiga
of U MUMBA had an off day.
