Indian women clinchec bronze behind China and Greece.</div></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Ravina produced the best finish by an Indian in the women’s 20km event in the World Athletics Race Walking Team Championships Muscat 22, with the 14th place in 1:40:22. The experienced Bhawna Jat was 21st with a time of 1:43:08 and 20-year-old Munita Prajapati finished 26th in 1:45:03. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Earlier in the day, India’s top U20 men’s race walker Amit Khatri suffered a heartbreak when he was disqualified with four red cards, when in sight of a dramatic victory in U20 men’s 10km race. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"> Lying third behind two Chinese walkers at the start of the final kilometer, the 18-year-old stepped up the pace and shot into the lead. However, he also picked up three red cards in addition to the one shown to him earlier. It left him gutted, disbelief that he was so close to winning a second medal on the world stage in six months but was left with a disqualification.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">If he had only three red cards in the race, Amit would have earned a top 5 finish with a one-minute stay in the penalty zone.

Yoddha" width="400" /></a></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">In an interesting match, the three-time champions Patna Pirates beat U.P. Yoddha 38-27 to book a spot in the final of Vivo Pro Kabaddi League Season 8. Patna started on the front foot with their star defender Mohammadreza Shadloui looking in red-hot form. The raiding duo of Sachin and Guman Singh attacked at the other end and even Ashu Singh’s Super Tackle wasn’t enough to prevent an ALL OUT in the 10th minute.</div></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">Shadloui and Sunil picked up High 5s for Patna while at the other end raiders Sachin (7 points) and Guman Singh (8 points) ensured the U.P. defenders had a difficult night.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">U.P. Yoddha's Pardeep Narwal had a quiet outing with just 4 points in the entire match. In fact, it was substitute Shrikant Jadhav who performed best for U.P. Yoddha in attack with 10 points (including 2 for a Super Tackle). Patna will play the final on Friday (25 February).</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">Patna continued to dominate the proceedings with Prashanth Kumar Rai also joining in the attack with important touchpoints. Pardeep Narwal and Surender Gill had no answers to Patna’s high-intensity defending. Once again Ashu Singh produced a Super Tackle on Sachin but that could not stop the Pirates from getting their second ALL OUT in the 17th minute to open a 14-point lead.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">Interestingly, all the 7 players of Patna had contributed with at least 1 point while Pardeep Narwal was yet to get off his mark. The “record breaker” did get two points in the final minutes of the first half but Patna maintained the healthy lead at the interval (23-9).</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">The Pirates continued to control the mat in the early minutes of the second half. Pardeep and Surender struggled to find errors in the Patna defence while the likes of Guman and Sachin kept the Yoddha defenders guessing. Shrikant Jadhav’s Super Tackle in the 5th minute after the restart gave U.P. a glimmer of hope but there was no stopping the Pirates. The three-time champions cleared all the Yoddha men on the mat with another ALL OUT with 11 minutes remaining to open a 17-point lead.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">Mohammadreza Shadloui picked his High 5 as Patna showed no signs of taking their foot off the pedal. Coach Ram Mehar Singh wanted his side to slow down the pace of the match but Yoddha’s substitute raider Shrikant Jadhav kept them busy. He became the lead raider for U.P. in their desperate attempt to make a comeback. They reduced Patna’s lead to 12 points with 5 minutes remaining.</span></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: large;">U.P. Yoddha inflicted an ALL OUT with under 3 minutes remaining to further reduce Patna’s lead to 7 points. But Patna proved their mettle with a stunning tackle on Pardeep Narwal (by substitute Monu). Sachin then followed it up with an important raid point. They made it an 11-point lead with a minute remaining and ensured there were no slip-ups in the dying seconds to enter the final.</span></span></p>

The Pirates rushed to an early lead and closed in on an ALL OUT. Mohammadreza Shadloui (for not crossing the Baulk Line) delayed it but Pirates eventually removed all the Titans on the mat in the 7th minute to open a 7-point lead.</div></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Raider Sachin scored a Super 10 (14 points) and defender Mohammadreza Shadloui secured a High 5 (5 tackle points) as Pirates once again showed why they are on top of the points table with a victory that helped them guarantee a Top-2 finish in the league stages.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Bottom-placed Telugu Titans were playing the match for pride having already been ruled out of the playoffs race. They once again showed glimpses of their potential but failed to control the match in the dying stages. The 8-point margin of the defeat meant they walked away with no points from the encounter.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Patna Pirates started on the front foot with their raiding duo of Guman Singh and Sachin finding errors in the Telugu defence. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">The Titans had no intention to be easy pushovers however and initiated an immediate fight back. Rajnish, with a heavily strapped knee, found mistakes in the Patna defence to slowly push his team closer to the Pirates. His 3-point Super Raid in the 17th minute gave the Titans an opportunity to inflict an ALL OUT on the table-toppers.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Adarsh T then clinched a 2-point raid to get the ALL OUT and open a 1-point lead. Patna Pirates soon got back into the lead through Sachin and brought in the experienced Monu Goyat as a substitute to sharpen their attack. The scores were 21-20 in favour of the Pirates at halftime.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Sachin clinched his Super 10 in the second minute after half time but the Titans continued to match the Pirates blow for blow. Their defence ensured there were no easy points up for Pirates’ raiders. Ankit Beniwal also started supporting Rajnish in the raids as they moved to a 1-point lead. The scores were 27-26 with 10 minutes remaining.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">The depth of Pirates’ squad meant they kept finding answers to all the challenges being thrown at them by the Titans. In the 5 minutes that followed the first Time Out, Patna outscored the Titans by 3 points to once again take the lead. The momentum shift proved decisive as the Pirates inflicted an ALL OUT with 3 minutes remaining to open a 7-point lead. Rajnish got his Super 10 for the Titans but that mattered little as the Pirates went on to clinch an important win.</span></p>

The Pirates’ defence was in top form too, with Mohammadreza Shadloui picking up a High 5. The win helped Patna Pirates move to the top of the points table. Sachin scored a Super 10 (11 points) and was ably supported by Guman Singh (7 points) in the raiding unit. </div></span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">The three-time champions are now favourites to clinch a top-2 finish which will give them an edge over bottom 4 in playoffs to qualify for finals. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Bengal Warriors had yet another poor day on the mat with both their defence and attack struggling. They will now need to ensure they win all the remaining matches of the season to stand a chance of making it to the eliminators. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Pirates controlled the first half with a collective performance. Their raiders Sachin and Guman Singh found easy mistakes from the Bengal defenders to give an early lead. Bengal’s raiders including Maninder Singh had no similar luck at the other end with Mohammadreza Shadloui manning the left corner.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Bengal staged a small comeback when Abozar Mighani and Manoj Gowda pulled off two tackles. But Pirates were relentless in their pursuit for that ALL OUT and got it with 2 minutes remaining for halftime. The scores were 21-10 at the interval with Bengal in desperate need of inspiration.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Pirates continued to dominate after the break. Their raiders slowed down the pace of the match while defenders ensured there were no slip-ups. Bengal’s Maninder Singh struggled to make an impact as Patna Pirates left corner Mohammadreza Shadloui picked his High 5 (6th of the season) in the 8th minute. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Even the usually reliable Ran Singh in Bengal’s left corner was having an error-prone night. But despite the dominance, the Pirates failed to inflict another ALL OUT. </span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Pirates had an 8-point lead with 5 minutes remaining in the match. Sachin clinched his Super 10 as the Pirates finally secured their second ALL OUT. That opened the lead to 11 points. The Patna team kept calm in the dying minutes to ensure they won the match.  </span></p><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>

The 28-point margin in the victory will also help them consolidate their position in the race for playoff spots.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Three Pirates defenders - Mohammadreza Shadloui (6 tackle points), Neeraj Kumar (6 tackle points) and Sunil (5 tackle points) – picked up High 5s in a total show down from the men in green.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Coach Ram Mehar Singh’s men had 21 tackle points on the night – Pirates’ best in vivo PKL history – as they gave Tamil Thalaivas no chance to stage a fightback. The early minutes were a closely contested affair with both defences looking strong.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Pirates, on the mat after a 9-day break, looked fresh with raider Monu Goyat and right corner Sunil back in action. Monu Goyat impressed with his raids, switching sides effortlessly, and troubling the cover defenders. He orchestrated the first ALL OUT of the match in the 13th minute.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Thalaivas' defence didn’t look their usual best as Patna Pirates captain Prashanth Rai picked raid points. Tamil raiders Ajinkya Pawar and Manjeet tried their best to close the gap, but the first half ended 21-12 with Pirates looking in complete control.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Patna Pirates sustained the pressure with their left corner defender Mohammadreza Shadloui also getting in on the act. He combined well with cover defenders Sajin C and Neeraj Kumar to help the Pirates clinch another ALL OUT four minutes after the interval.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Thalaivas had no answers to Patna’s team game and would have been reduced to 2 men on the mat had Sagar not pulled off a Super Tackle on Monu Goyat. Sagar clinched his High 5 in the process, but the team failed to close the points gap.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Pirates inflicted another ALL OUT with 8 minutes on the clock as Mohammadreza Shadloui completed his High 5. It was total domination by the three-time champions who raced to a 24-point lead with 5 minutes remaining. Neeraj Kumar and Sunil secured their High 5s in the dying minutes as Pirates clinched the win that helped them move to second on the points table.</span></p>

Both teams went into the match on unbeaten streaks and matched each other in an intensely-contested Kabaddi match.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Monu Goyat was the stand-out star for the three-time champions Pirates, picking up difficult points against a well-drilled Tamil Thalaivas defence.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Pirates’ players, capable of defending and attacking, made it difficult for Thalaivas to target any weaknesses. The Patna Pirates clinched their first ALL OUT in the last minute of the first half which finished 18-12 in favour of the men in green.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Ajinkya Pawar’s introduction provided much need sharpness to the Tamil raiding unit. His 2-point raid early in the second half set the tone for the Thalaivas who went on to get an ALL OUT in the 8th minute. Ajinkya Pawar also clinched his Super 10 as Thalaivas opened a 2-point with 10 minutes remaining.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Pirates stayed in the game, with two crucial reviews ensuring they stayed within touching distance from the Tamil Thalaivas. Iranian Mohammadreza Shadloui ensured they stayed focused with body blocks and dashes. The scores were 30-30 with one minute left in the match and the teams decided to safeguard the three points (for a tie) rather than go for the win.</span></p>

The win pushed Patna Pirates to second on the points table as Bengal Warriors stood in eighth position.</div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">The talismanic raider Monu Goyat produced one of the most scintillating displays of Kabaddi, scoring seven points in a single raid in the match.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Patna Pirates started on a bang picking up raid points through Sachin and Prashanth Kumar but were soon found wanting more against Bengal Warriors’ Maninder Singh.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Maninder, the star raider, brought out his best as he left the Pirates looking for answers from all corners of the mat.  He picked up points at will and overpowered all defensive tactics to return to his half in a jiffy with every passing raid.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Patna’s defensive tactics too looked in place for the first few minutes as Bengal Warriors struggled to keep up with the pace of the match.  It was Maninder who helped the defending champions pick up the lead at 11-9 when he sent MonuGoyat and Mohammadreza Shadloui  to the bench in a single raid. He soon sent Prashanth Kumar on his way in his next raid as Bengal Warriors opened a four-point lead.  </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Pirates lost their way and found all their players on the mat as Bengal Warriors led by a healthy 16-10.  Maninder registered his Super 10 when he escaped from Chiyaneh’s ankle hold as the defending champions started to call the shots with an eight-point lead.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Sachin and Monu Goyat then tried to put Patna back in the game as they slowly tried to reduce the arrears with bonus points and running touches but Bengal called the shots at half time with a 21-16 score line.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">However, Bengal Warriors upped their defensive game after the break when Amit tackled Sachin with a thigh hold.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Pirates slowly tried to crawl into the game, reducing the deficit to just three points, through Neeraj Kumar and Monu Goyat, who scored his 500th raid point.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Neeraj came up with good defensive work, tackling Rishank Devadiga, and Monu was good with his raids, going deep and scoring a bonus point.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">A moment of failure from Maninder when he stepped out of the mat gave  Pirates an opening and they tried to capitalize on that.

Pirates captain Prashant Kumar Rai added four points in two raids to his team’s total and left the Steelers with two players on the mat.  A dazzling 15-point display from Monu Goyat and a couple of clutch raids from Sachin in the dying moments led Patna Pirates to a thrilling 42-39 win over the Haryana Steelers. Rohit Gulia finished with a Super 10, while Surender Nada picked up a High 5 for the Steelers.</span><p></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">The first half saw both teams score in bursts. Vikash Kandola got off to a hot start, helping his side take a 4-1 lead and reducing the Pirates down to just three on the mat. An error from rookie Meetu Mahender and three quick points from Sachin saw Patna take the lead.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Pirates captain Prashant Kumar Rai added four points in two raids to his team’s total and left the Steelers with two players on the mat. But the momentum swung in the Steelers’ favour after a Super Tackle from Surendar Nada and a four-point Super Raid from Rohit Gulia, leaving the Pirates with just two on the mat. Haryana’s defence and Kandola swiftly picked them both off to help their side inflict the game’s first All Out.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Both sides scored four points in the final three minutes of the half and headed into the halftime break with the Steelers leading 22-15.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Early in the second half, Goyat quickly turned the tide of the contest with some impeccable raiding. The veteran added four points to his team’s tally and left the Steelers with just one player on the mat. The Pirates’ defence pinned the raider down to inflict an All Out and take a one-point lead.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Goyat then added three more points to his tally, first with a stellar ankle hold on Kandola and then a two-point raid immediately after, which completed his Super 10, to help the Pirates take a six-point lead.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">And the chaos ensued.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">Down to just three players on the mat, Haryana’s defence managed two Super Tackles in succession to cut the Pirates’ lead down to just a couple of points. Goyat responded to his setback with a Super Raid that left the Steelers with a solitary player on the mat. He managed to pick a touch point, which revived Surender Nada, who Super Tackled Goyat to cut Patna Pirates’ lead down to just one.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: large;">A crucial tackle from the Pirates’ defence helped their side take a two-point lead. With under 30 seconds left, Gulia earned a point for his side and left just enough time on the clock for one last raid. Playing a high line with just three on the mat, the Steelers had to pin down Sachin to win the game. But the raider escaped with two touch points to win the game for the Pirates.
