The Inform Team Rajasthan
Some fans might think the Rajasthan girls’ win over Haryana was a fluke, but you are mistaken. Rajasthan has been an in-form team, performing well right through the group stage and knockout matches.
Their campaign started with a brilliant win over Manipur. The total dominance was 40-5, which is hard to overcome for many teams.
Moving ahead in their 2nd match, Rajasthan went on to win against Maharashtra by a margin of 63-41. Although the score looks closer compared to the Manipur game, the plot was lost way early.
The rollercoaster ride just got better. Rajasthan defeated SAI by a margin of 52-53. This was one of the closest games Rajasthan won.
But this did fuel the Rajasthan junior girls to make an impact. Quarterfinals took place against Chattisgarh, which the Rajasthan girls won by 61-27 scores and entered the semifinals.
As the expectations were higher for Rajasthan, they battled against Tamil Nadu, and the domination just continued. Winning the game by 40-34 meant they were high on confidence for the final games.
Fans might see the players performing the skin out, but coach Sujan Choudhary and Rakhi Tanwar’s backroom staff played a pivotal role in winning the junior girls’ Kabaddi title.
