Gujarat Giants marched into the final of Ultimate Kho Kho after beating defending champions Odisha Juggernauts 29-27 in the first semifinal.
Gujarat Giants dominated the first innings as their opponents seemingly switched off. Odisha Juggernauts put in an improved show in the second half, but the nine-point advantage they conceded in the first proved too much to overcome.
Suyash Gargate and Sanket Kadam were the pick of the attackers for Gujarat Giants with six points each at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium.
