It was heartbreak for Gujarat yet again like the last season, when they ended up as runners-up.
Pawan was the difference between the two teams as he pulled back his side into the game after trailing 9-16 after the first half at the NSCI Dome at Worli.
The two teams showed amazing skills, that included super tackles and raids, and were locked at 7-7 with eight minutes to go for the completion of first half.
But then Gujarat seemed to have found the momentum as they surged ahead 11-7 with a couple of successful raids and tackles. And then Gujarat inflicted an 'all-out' on their opponents to increase their lead to 15-9. At the half-way mark, Gujarat led 16-9. (Source: AP)
The turning point came when Sehrawat grabbed six points for his side after two all outs on Gujarat.
Bengaluru went home richer by Rs 3 crore while Gujarat bagged Rs 1.80 crore as prize money.
