For a man who has built a huge reputation as one of the leading defenders in the Pro Kabaddi League, Sachin's dismal performance in PKL 5 did not go unnoticed.

26 points from 22 games indeed did not paint a pretty picture for Sachin at the end of the season although he happened to lift the trophy in the Patna outfit. Right through the season, the left cover put in hasty tackles and holds albeit he did enjoy some crucial moments in his favour.

However, despite his woeful form, his authoritative influence from the first four seasons of the PKL might have seen him being given a shot at selection for the championships.
