Despite Puneri Paltan's lackluster outing right from the start of the tournament, skipper Surjeet Singh led his troops superbly by setting the record for the most High-5s by any defender in history (27), surpassing Manjeet Chhillar with 23 High-5s.

Seven of them came in this season, which is the highest by the end of league stage of the tournament. Surjeet Singh had a decent outing with 63 tackle points in 21 matches at an average of 2.66 tackle points per game. He gained seven super tackles with a total strike rate of 51.21% by the end of his campaign.

Surjeet Singh couldn't deliver in the first few fixtures but gained consistency in his performance later on. The master of dashes didn't find support from the other defensive units due to continuous changes in almost every encounter. However, Surjeet's personal performance was at par this season.
