#2 Amit Hooda (Jaipur Pink Panthers)
When Jaipur began their campaign against U Mumba this season, a relatively mysterious figure graced the right corner for the men in pink. In Season 3, this man had just 11 tackles to his name. His improvement is beyond comprehension. With 47 successful tackles, Hooda sits pretty at the top of the defence leaderboard.
With eyes like a hawk, Amit was extremely proactive and aggressive in his approach. He showed he is no one trick pony by mixing his deadly ankle holds with his powerful upper body tackles depending on the situation. On numerous occasions this season, when the Panthers were on the verge of crumbling, his wise defending ensured they didn’t.
