U Mumba storm through Chennai Leg, eye PKL Playoffs With Renewed Confidence

Mumbai, Oct 13 (UNI) Bouncing back from setbacks, U Mumba made a statement in Chennai Leg with disciplined performances that have put them right back in the race for this season’s title.The franchise commenced their Chennai leg with a dominant 42-24 win over Tamil Thalaivas, highlighted by Sandeep’s third consecutive Super 10 and defensive heroics from Lokesh and captain Sunil Kumar, who each recorded High Fives. Ajit Chouhan’s return from injury added much needed depth and versatility, setting a winning tone for the leg.
The Mumbai side’s momentum was unrelenting, as just one day later they dispatched Gujarat Titans 40-25. Sandeep was again instrumental, registering 16 raid points for another Super 10, while Sunil Kumar marshaled the defence with 7 tackle points and Rinku earned a High Five. This display of fitness, hunger, and teamwork sent a clear signal to rivals that U Mumba’s aggressive approach and unity make them strong playoff contenders this season.
“Last 4 matches I’ve been able to perform well & it’s only possible because of the support from the team, captain, and coach who always say, ‘You go and raid without any worry, we’re always backing you from the line.’ Even if I get caught, they never let it bother them, they always encourage me to keep raiding boldly, and that’s why I can give my best.” Raider Sandeep Kumar in the post match conference.
