Gujarat Giants Clinch Glory

In a riveting spectacle at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, Gujarat Giants emerged triumphant, securing the coveted title of champions in Ultimate Kho Kho Season 2. Their stellar performance led to a 31-26 victory over the formidable Chennai Quick Guns.

Despite facing bouts of inconsistency in the league phase, Gujarat Giants showcased remarkable prowess on the decisive day, sealing the victory in the first innings. The match had an air of anticipation as the favourites, Chennai Quick Guns, failed to find their rhythm from the onset, ultimately preventing a dramatic comeback in the final turn. The stage was set, the battle fierce, and Gujarat Giants emerged as the deserving champions in a thrilling culmination to the season.

Ultimate Kho Kho, promoted by Amit Burman in collaboration with the Kho Kho Federation of India, became the first Indian sports league to secure Series A funding, courtesy the UK-based BNP Group. Puri's Member of Parliament Shri Pinaki Misra was in attendance at the final.
