The ongoing season of Pro Kabaddi League has produced few incredible moments already which has left the fans in awe of the talent & skills of the players. The tournament has seen some outrageous stuff, with Pawan Kumar Sehrawat and Naveen Kumar leading the heroics in raiding department. However, the defenders have been nothing short of any action.
Few days back, U Mumba's Rinku Hari stole the show by producing a fantastic solo super tackle. While these kind of moments rarely happen on the Kabaddi mat, fans got to see a very similar moment of magic for second time in the season.
In the game between Jaipur Pink Panthers and Tamil Thalaivas on Sunday, the Men in Pink were leading by 10-8 when Arjun Deshwal went to raid. With only two players left for the opponents, Arjun had a brilliant chance to inflict an all-out. However, captain Surjeet Singh had other plans!
Despite the other defender Sahil making an error and going out of bounds, Surjeet did not give up as he single handedly stopped Arjun in an unbelievable exhibition of defense. The experienced defender held the legs of raider with both his hands, giving no chance to Arjun to get back. And once the raider did manage to free himself, the time was unfortunately over and Tamil Thalaivas had been handed 2 crucial points for super tackle, courtesy Surjeet's monstrous effort.

After Deepak Hooda came to raid in the next raid, Surjeet Singh once again showed incredible resilience to keep his counterpart at bay. However, an error from Mohit gave the opposition an easy point. The Tamil Thalaivas captain, who was the last man standing for his side, ensured that he would get a bonus point for his side in next raid before his side get all-out.
While Jaipur should have got an advantage of 6 points but Surjeet Singh's heroics meant that they had to settle for a 4-point lead only before the match resumed once again. However, this small phase of play turned out to be extremely decisive in the end as the match finished in a thrilling tie, with score reading 31-31.
