Pro Kabaddi League 2017: Puneri Paltan edge U Mumba to win 26-24

In the Pro Kabaddi League 2017, it was the great Maharashtrian derby where the hosts U Mumba took on their neighbours Puneri Paltans. A thriller of a match as expected but it was the Puneri Paltans who celebrated at the end of the match as they edged U Mumba by just two points. Deepak Hooda and his Paltans managed to keep Anup Kumar's Mumba in control. A close contest as Mumbai were nearly home but suffered another loss as the hosts.
