The first half began with a bang, with Nitin Tomar securing a bonus point for his side. But Deepak Hooda, one of the most developed-player in recent times, got a raid point immediately for his team with his signature hand touch and with that, sent Paltan’s star raider Tomar to the bench. The season one champions then secured their first all out of the match in the 16th minute and Hooda kept putting continuous pressure. The half ended with a score of 17-11 in favor of Jaipur.
