5 Players who have been Valuable for Puneri Paltan

#3 Girish Ernak

Puneri Paltan’s capture of Girish Maruti Ernak went somewhat under the radar given his below-par performances for Bengal Warriors in PKL 4. It was even thought that Girish Ernak might be an expensive bench warmer for Puneri Paltan given the presence of stalwarts like Sandeep Narwal and Dharmaraj Cheralathan.

But the Maharashtra defender defied critics with a string of brilliant performances. The left corner’s vice-like ankle holds proved impossible for the raiders to escape. Girish Ernak cemented his place and his fine performances kept the likes of Dharmaraj Cheralathan out of the starting 7 which is no mean feat.

Girish always had talent but was guilty of rash tackles but in the orange of Pune, he found the consistency and level-headedness which had eluded him. His brilliant performances saw him retained for the upcoming PKL season.
