India have stepped up and included only three frontline defenders with the exclusion of Surjeet and Surender. It is highly certain that the corners' duo will be led by Girish Ernak and Mohit Chhillar.

After a successful victory run with Maharashtra, we saw how Girish has stepped up his game with precise ankle holds and accurate body blocks. He announced his arrival scoring 19 tackle points with 2 high 5s in Kabaddi Masters; he is most likely to play from the left corner during the entire phase.

His opposite corner will be held by one of the masters of chain tackles, an experienced PKL campaigner Mohit Chhillar who'll play the right corner. Raju Lal Chaudhari will be acting as a replacement if one of the defenders lose their momentum which is unlikely to happen.

It will be a bedrock corner defence which will bring shivers down the opposition raiders once the 30-second timer begins.
