PKL 2019 : One unsold player who could have helped each eliminated team to qualify for playoffs

#3 Mahendra Ganesh Rajput - Puneri Paltan

Mahendra Ganesh Rajput, Manjeet and Pankaj Mohite could have formed the perfect raiding trio

If you have a look at the Bengal Warriors team, you discover that the raiding trio of Mohammad Nabibakhsh, Maninder Singh and K. Prapanjan played a huge role in the team’s success. They even had Sukesh Hegde on the bench so the raiding department of the team was efficient.

On the other side, Puneri Paltan had a strong defence, but they lacked the ‘X-factor’ in their raiding attack. Anup Kumar unearthed the talent in Pankaj Mohite while Manjeet proved to be the cornerstone of the team. However, the team’s leading raider, Nitin Tomar struggled with his fitness once again.

Hence, it would have been an excellent move had the Puneri Paltan side signed Mahendra Ganesh Rajput ahead of Darshan Kadian, Pawan Kadian and Amit Kumar in the auction.

Rajput knows to how win matches for his team and he could have emerged as the savior for Puneri Paltan when Nitin Tomar was out.

The quartet of Manjeet, Pankaj, Nitin and Rajput could have given a good number of options to Anup Kumar and without a doubt, Mahendra would have helped Puneri Paltan a lot.
