At the end of the Pro Kabaddi League 2014 final when Abhishek Bachchan and Ronnie Screwvala hugged, no one could guess whose team was the champion. That one moment can very well define the entire Pro Kabaddi League 2014. There were 8 teams, over 90 players, over 50 matches, lakhs of fans, an extravaganza spread over 1 month, 1 champion and on top of all this, the real winner perhaps being the game of kabaddi.
And they say kabaddi (read Pro Kabaddi League 2014) was the second most watched sport, that could sum it all up too.
Jaipur Pink Panther were on the roll in the final
The line-up for the semi-finals of Pro Kabaddi League 2014 was on the expected lines. Jaipur Pink Panthers, Bengaluru Bulls, U Mumba and Patna Pirates. Personally I thought the final would be between the Mumbai and Bangalore teams but that didn’t happen. In fact it was a little disappointing to see both my favourite teams losing their last matches of Pro Kabaddi League. Anyhow.
The way Jaipur Pink Panthers played in the finals, they deserved to win the match. But the way U Mumba played throughout the Pro Kabaddi League, may be they deserved to be the 2014 champions. But can’t take anything away from the eventual champions Jaipur Pink Panthers, they were on a roll and they won fair and square. The final score read 35-24 and there was that much difference between the two finalists.
Happy and proud faces of owners and players said it all
The excitement and smile on the faces of owners of Jaipur Pink Panthers; Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and of course the pride on the faces of the team members of the PKL champions lead by Navneet Gautam said it all. Congratulation to the Pro Kabaddi League 2014 Champions, Jaipur Pink Panthers .
U Mumba did all they could but fell at the last hurdle of PKL. But nothing can take away the success they achieved and the manner they played. Congratulations to owners Ronnie Screwvala and the team led by my favourite player of the Pro Kabaddi League 2014, Anup Kumar. You guys were awesome.
Bengaluru Bulls and Ajay Thakur came up short in the semi-final
In the other match of the evening, the match for the 3rd place in Pro Kabaddi League 2014, Bengaluru Bulls lost to Patna Pirates – a match they should not have lost. But from the word go, Patna Pirates were on the top of their game and never allowed Bengaluru Bulls to come even close to matching them.
It was a really off day for Ajay Thakur, my second favorite player (am a little biased too, Ajay Thakur is from Himachal Pradesh, my home state) and their captain Manjit Chillar. Both of them did try and so did their team mates but the day belonged to the Patna Pirates. They played like they had come to win and they succeeded too. The final score read 29-22 and it was a fantastic match.
Pro Kabaddi League season 2 in March 2015
Among all the raids and excitement, the biggest announcement came at the start itself as Anand Mahindra announced that the season 2 of Pro Kabaddi League is closer than many of us thought. The date is now set, it’s just 6 months away. Come March 2015 and we’ll see these teams fight it out again for the trophy of Pro Kabaddi League 2015. I am already feeling exited.
Thigh Five for the game of Kabaddi!!
