Patna Pirates' Kabaddi star Ayan Lohchab drew massive praise from the commentators over his outstanding performance in the Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 match against U Mumba at the Vishwanadh Sports Club in Vizag on Thursday. The commentator on air was seen screaming in excitement, 'Yeh ladka point pe point laaye jaa raha hai' as he secured staggering 19 raid points for his side.
For the unversed, a raid or a successful raid in Kabaddi is a term when an athlete from the attacking team enters the opponent half of the court and scores points by touching one of the defenders or by crossing the bonus line. At the same time, the athlete must chant the word 'kabaddi' consistently under one breath during the raid.
The commentator screamed the below on air after Lohchab secured 19 points for his side following a successful raid:
"Bhai sahab kya kar rahe ho? Yeh ladka point pe point laaye jaa raha hai. 19th Raid point Ayan ka bhai sahab." (Brother, what are you doing? This boy is racking up point after point. It's the 19th raid point for Ayan.)
U Mumba edge out Patna Pirates eventually to register win
Nevertheless, Lohchab's heroics weren't enough for the Pirates to win as Mumba were able to close it out 40-39, leaving themselves one point ahead. Although Lohchab registered history by racking up successive 20-point game in PKL history, an unforced error or a slip in the end meant that the game swung away from the Pirates.
For Mumba, Amirmohammad Zafardanesh proved to be the star with a Super 10, while Anil was equally instrumental, making a vital contribution as the contest was a high-scoring one.
