Puneri Paltan Dominates U Mumba in Maharashtra Derby
Puneri Paltan showcased a defensive masterclass as they outplayed U Mumba with a commanding 40-22 victory in the Maharashtra Derby at the SMS Indoor Stadium. The spotlight was on young raider Stuwart Singh, who shone brightly with eight raid points to lead the season 10 champions to another impressive win.
The Paltan’s defense was relentless, racking up 20 tackle points, including six Super Tackles. Gurdeep stood out with a High Five performance, while Gaurav Khatri and Abinesh Nadarajan contributed four points each. However, it was Singh’s composure under pressure that garnered praise from captain Aslam Inamdar.
“Stuwart has shown that he is a talented player and knows how to perform under pressure,” expressed Aslam about the young raider from Tamil Nadu. “He has been putting in the hard work and waiting for his chance. I always believed he had the potential to excel, and tonight he proved it.”
Aslam shared that Singh had been on Puneri’s radar for some time. “He was with us in Season 10 but didn’t get an opportunity then. This season, he has seized his chance and made the most of it. Building the confidence of youngsters like Rakesh and Stuwart is crucial, and I am delighted to see them deliver,” added Aslam.
Head coach Ajay Thakur emphasized the significance of patience and defensive discipline in securing the big win. “Our defenders displayed a great mindset and kept their composure. That was the difference against a formidable team like U Mumba,” said Thakur.
