Ashu Malik’s Heroics and Nitin’s Blunder Hand Dabang Delhi 36-35 Win

Dabang Delhi clinched a dramatic 36-35 win over Jaipur Pink Panthers in Vizag. Ashu Malik starred with 21 points, while Nitin Kumar and Sahil Satpal’s Super 10s went in vain. A last-second blunder from Nitin, failing to cross the baulk line, gifted Delhi victory after a tense battle featuring multiple momentum swings and two ALL OUTs.

As the crowd at the Vishwanadh Sports Club in Vizag witnessed, Dabang Delhi edged past Jaipur Pink Panthers 36-35 in a pulsating Pro Kabaddi League clash on Sunday. The contest swung like a pendulum, with both sides producing moments of brilliance before a last-second mistake from Jaipur cost them the game. Ashu Malik once again starred for Delhi, leading from the front with a stunning 21-point performance.

Jaipur, however, looked in control for most of the first half as Nitin Kumar and Sahil Satpal both registered Super 10s. Their efforts, combined with a timely ALL OUT, helped the Panthers go into halftime with a 20-15 advantage. Delhi began the second half with renewed energy, chipping away at the deficit. Ashu continued to raid successfully, while Ajinkya Pawar’s contribution narrowed the gap to 22-24. The turning point came when Delhi enforced an ALL OUT, snatching a 29-28 lead.

The game remained tense, with Nitin repeatedly bringing Jaipur back level, and the Panthers seemed to have sealed it after leading 35-34 with seconds left. However, in the final raid, Nitin failed to cross the baulk line, gifting Delhi two points through a Super Tackle. That schoolboy error turned the tables, sealing a dramatic victory for Dabang Delhi.
