PKL 2019 | One cannot say how any match will finish till the final whistle, says Randhir Singh
After a close win against U Mumba, Randhir Singh has stated that it is tough to say who is the winner till the last whistle and that is what the league is all about. Pawan Sehrawat has said that Rohit Kumar has a big influence on the team and now the coach is helping the former in leading them.
Bengaluru Bulls had a great evening on Friday as they managed to get the better of U Mumba by 35-33. It was a close game till the end and U Mumba also tried hard to make a comeback towards the end of the match against the defending champions. After the exciting win, Bengaluru Bulls coach Randhir Singh expressed his happiness with the thrilling encounter and said that one cannot make a prediction till the last whistle.
“This is what vivo Pro Kabaddi Season 7 has been like. People can lose by the smallest of margins. So one cannot say how any match will finish till the final whistle. The average age of my team is quite low. Quite a few of them are playing their rookie season,” Randhir told reporters after the match.
“Pawan Sehrawat has been made the captain and his age, too, is just 23. Rohit Kumar will return soon but these young boys did really well and I am really happy with their performance.”
Pawan Sehrawat is leading the team in the absence of their regular skipper Rohit Kumar. He scored 11 points in the game yesterday and looked sensible during most of his raids towards the end. After the win against U Mumba, he talked about the experience of leading the team.
“Rohit Kumar has been a big influence for the team but in his absence, the coach helps me a lot in leading the team. He told me when I should send Sumit and when I should go to raid. I think we played this match quite intelligently,” Pawan said.
When asked about the same to coach Randhir, he replied, “In the two matches where Pawan has been the captain, the happiest thing for me is that this is the first time he has been made the captain and he has done so well. I keep telling him that if you even score at 60% of your original rate then it is a big success for the team because he sacrifices 5-6 points every game as a captain.”
“If he was not the captain then he would surely have come back with a bonus three minutes into the contest and also gone for touch points because they were in his reach. However, I feel he decided to play as a captain and gave up on those points which was good to see.”
