He received solid support from Arjun Sirohi, who contributed six raid points along with a crucial tackle point. Kashi’s defense also played a key role, with Hrajendra Kumar picking up 4 tackle points and Vikul Lamba adding 3, ensuring Lucknow were unable to build sustained momentum.

Lucknow Lions, despite the loss, had their moments through Shivam Chaudhary, who finished with 13 raid points. Arjun Deshwal added 7 raid points, while Arpit Saroha contributed 3 tackle points in defense, but the team could not overturn the early deficit.
