Noida, Jan 23(UNI) Amit held his nerve under intense pressure in the decisive final contest to steer Maharashtra Kesari to a well-earned 5–4 victory over Haryana Thunders, handing the previously unbeaten side their first defeat of the season in Match 10 of the Pro Wrestling League 2026 on Friday night, here at Noida Indoor Stadium. With the tie locked at 4-4, Amit produced a composed performance in the 86kg men’s category to secure the win by a single point, lifting Maharashtra Kesari to the top of the standings with six points from four matches.
