Cuttack: The atmosphere was electric inside the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium here on Thursday evening, the setting perfect for Odisha Juggernauts to try and take a giant step towards retaining the Ultimate Kho Kho League title.

However, Gujarat Giants had other ideas as they broke local hearts to oust the defending champions in the first semifinal of Season 2.

Gujarat led 19-10 at half-time, and ultimately prevailed 29-27 as time ran out for the Odisha team.


The Juggernauts, who had finished in the double round-robin group league stage with 6 wins and 2 losses, did well in the third turn. But Gujarat defended well to hang on to their lead till the end.

Gujarat Giants await the winners of the second semifinal, between Telugu Yoddhas and Chennai Quick Guns.
