Once regarded as one of the best all-rounders in the league, Rajesh Narwal was a shadow of his former self in 2017. He was pinned to be the linchpin of debutants UP Yoddha but simply put, Narwal was poor.

In 16 matches, he managed a total of just 11 raid points and 16 tackle points. During a game, he was even sent off for over-aggressive behaviour. His troubles didn't stop there, throughout the PKL season, Rajesh was slow off the blocks and failed to bail his side out in crunch situations.

He let his team down when they needed him. One of the most talented players in the league let complacency slip in and it proved to be deadly.
