The 11th season of the Pro Kabaddi League has been exciting, and as it enters its final stages, Gujarat Giants find themselves out of the playoff race. It hasn’t been the season we hoped for, with only 4 wins so far. While our chances of advancing are over, there’s still pride to play for. We can make an impact by spoiling the plans of other teams and finishing the tournament on a positive note.
In our last match, we faced Tamil Thalaivas, and it was a tough outing. They completely outplayed us, controlling the game from start to finish. Despite coming into the match with some good form, we struggled to match their intensity. It was a total team effort from them, and unfortunately, we couldn’t find answers. That game highlighted areas where we need to improve, and we’ll look to bounce back stronger.
Next up, we face U Mumba, a team that’s been impressive this season. Sitting third on the table, they have won 9 out of their 16 matches and are on course to finish in the top four. They tied their last game against Jaipur Pink Panthers and have been consistent over their recent matches. U Mumba is a formidable opponent, with their players stepping up in crucial moments.
When we last faced them, it was a close contest, but they edged us out 27-33. However, our overall record against U Mumba is strong, with 9 wins out of 15 encounters. This history gives us confidence as we prepare for another intense clash.
Let’s rally behind the Giants and hope for a spirited performance. There’s still time to leave our mark on the tournament!
