Nabibaksh had scored crucial points versus Pakistan that booked Iran the final spot.

Mohammad Nabibaksh has a plethora of skills if you analyze him; a complete all-rounder into the mix. He had taken all the limelight upon himself with his all rounding abilities especially in the night of the finals versus India.

Usually a raiding all-rounder, he starred as Iran's highlight of the match when at the 38th minute of the match, he dashed Ajay Thakur out of the court as a muscular thrash getting 2 crucial points of the super tackle.

Also, his raiding skills depicted a perfect improvisation in the semifinals versus Pakistan where he took out Wasim Sajjad and two supporting defenders with his 3 pointer raid. Nabibaksh brings balance to his team with his raiding and defending abilities, this mustache keeping all-rounder will bring a lot of exhilaration on the mat for team Iran.
