PKL: Haryana Steelers look to return to winning ways against U Mumba

The
JSW
Sports-owned
franchise
gave
a
tough
fight
against
defending
champions
Dabang
Delhi
but
lost
38-36
at
the
death.

Mumba,
like
the
Steelers,
have
also
won
two
out
of
their
four
PKL
games
so
far
and
Joginder
Narwal,
who
was
one
of
the
Steelers’ key
players
against
Delhi,
said
his
team
has
worked
on
their
shortcomings
and
are
ready
for
the
encounter.

“We
came
really
close
to
beating
Dabang
Delhi
and
that
has
given
us
a
lot
of
confidence.
In
the
past
few
days
at
the
camp,
we
have
discussed
the
areas
where
we
can
improve
upon
and
we
have
planned
our
strategies
for
the
upcoming
game,”
Joginder
said.

While
U
Mumba
have
not
been
in
their
best
of
forms
so
far
this
season,
raiders
Guman
Singh
and
Jai
Bhagwan
have
been
performing
well
for
the
team.
The
veteran
defender
Joginder
gave
little
away
in
terms
of
strategies,
but
insisted
that
his
team
is
well
prepared
to
tackle
the
threat
posed
by
Friday’s
opponents.

“Before
the
match,
we
cannot
talk
about
strategies.
We
have
to
keep
some
discussions
close
to
the
camp.
We
recognise
that
U
Mumba
have
a
good
raiding
unit
and
we
have
talked
about
them
in
training.
We
are
ready
to
give
them
a
tough
fight,”
he
said.

On
being
asked
about
the
consistent
performances
from
Manjeet
Dahiya
and
Nitin
Rawal
for
the
team
this
season,
Joginder
said
that
the
duo
have
been
working
hard
in
training
and
are
always
eager
to
step
up
for
the
team.

“Both
Manjeet
and
Nitin
are
highly
motivated
and
eager
to
perform.
They
have
been
training
hard,
giving
their
everything,
like
each
and
every
player
in
the
squad.
We
are
quite
delighted
to
see
them
win
points
for
us
and
I
am
confident
they
will
continue
to
do
so
throughout
the
season,”
said
the
Steelers
skipper.

Joginder
further
added
that
the
morale
in
the
camp
has
not
been
affected
with
the
results
of
the
past
two
games,
and
stressed
that
there’s
plenty
of
action
still
to
come
in
the
tournament.

“It
is
a
very
long
season
and
there
are
times
when
one
team
may
lose
a
few
games.
But
it
does
not
determine
the
final
outcome
of
the
season
as
in
such
a
long
tournament,
every
team
is
capable
of
making
a
comeback.
Everyone
is
still
high
on
morale
at
the
camp
and
we
are
all
motivated
to
return
to
winning
ways,”
Joginder
signed
off.
