Mumbai Garudas crush Uttar Pradesh Warriors in PWL
Gurgaon: Mumbai Garudas today thrashed Uttar Pradesh Warriors (UPW) 5-2 to clinch their third successive victory in the inaugural edition of the Pro Wrestling League (PWL).
Mumbai have now jumped one rung to the top spot on the PWL table. They had defeated Punjab Royals 5-2 in the opening match of the tournament and beat strong contenders Bengaluru Yodhas 4-3 in their second contest.
This was UPW’s second defeat in the three matches they have played so far. They were thrashed 1-6 by Bengaluru Yodhas in their first match before defeating Dilli Veers 4-3.
Purevjav Unurbat gave UPW a winning start by outclassing Mumbai’s Pradeep by technical superiority (12-1) within two minutes in the men’s 74 kg category.
Pradeep drew first blood, forcing Unurbat out of the playing zone to grab a point. But that only served to stir Unurbat into action.
The 2015 World Championships silver medalist from Mongolia displayed his superior technique to outwrestle his opponent quite comprehensively.
Mumbai’s Sakshi Malik brought her team back to level terms by defeating UPW’s Sarita Kumari 3-0 in the women’s 58kg category.
Rahul Aware swatted aside the challenge from UPW’s Jaideep Kumar with a technical superiority (11-0) win in the men’s 57kg event to give Mumbai the lead.
Aware stamped his domination all over the contest by using the Fitlay move to open up a 9-0 lead just after the two-minute mark in the first round. He picked up another two points early in the second round.
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
