Another defender who had a poor Pro Kabaddi 2016 Season 4 was Bengal Warriors skipper Nilesh Shinde, who produced on 26 successful tackles during the entire campaign. For someone of his experience and pedigree, Shinde made far too many errors and gave away easy points to opponents. Every time he managed to execute a good tackle, he nullified it with a poor one.

The right corner could never put together a consistent run of match winning performances. Being the captain, the others looked to him in dire times but he was not able to deliver. While’s he had the odd good game this season, Nilesh looked lost on the mat on numerous occasions. His positioning on the mat let him down – making it easier for opposition raiders to execute successful do or die raids.
