Rajputana Royals Crowned Champions Of The Inaugural Archery Premier League
Archery Premier League: The inaugural Archery Premier League (APL) saved its best for last, as the final between the Rajputana Royals and Prithviraaj Yodhas turned into an edge-of-the-seat thriller. In a dramatic finish, the Royals held their nerve to stage a stunning comeback and clinch the title in a tense shoot-off, emerging as the first-ever APL champions.
It boiled down to a hit-and-miss match in the tiebreaking shootoff in the presence of Delhi Chief Minister, Rekha Gupta, where the two most consistent Royals’ compound archers – Ojas Deotale and Ella Gibson – hit the target, while none of the four Yodhas’ players found the yellow dot.
But the Yodhas can hold their heads high, not just for giving Royals a tough fight but also for becoming the first APL team to register a perfect rotation of eight arrows in a set, scoring a perfect 80 with all 10. But still it didn’t turn out to be enough despite taking a 4-2 lead, headed by their in-form senior compound archer, Abhishek Verma, who teamed up with Matias Grande, Gatha Khadake and Andrea Becerra.
