However, the Gujarat Giants, who led for most parts of the game, had Rakesh registering seven points and Neeraj getting a High-5 as well.
The Gujarat Giants got off to a quick start, with the defensive unit led by Rohit thwarting the Bengaluru Bulls’ early advances. However, the Bengaluru Bulls’ defenders too stepped up to the mat with vigour, ensuring that the Gujarat Giants would not be able to run away with an early lead. After the first five minutes, the Gujarat Giants were leading the battle of the defences by two points. Soon after, the Gujarat Giants’ Parteek Dahiya started to land a few quick raids, which gave them momentum. The Bengaluru Bulls though weren’t backing off with Nitin Rawal, Jai Bhagwan and Parteek looking effective in their respective roles.
