Matches - 4, Tackle Points - 2, Average Tackle Points/Match - 0.5

Mayur Shivtarkar featured in the starting seven of all the home matches. However, the youngster did not manage to impress with his performances as he could pick up just two tackle points from the entire Kolkata leg.

He played at the right cover position and committed 13 unsuccessful tackles to add to the woes of Bengal Warriors. Mayur could not open his account in three matches while his two tackle points came against Puneri Paltan.


#8 - Sukesh Hegde - 8/10

Kolkata saw the rise of Sukesh Hegde 2.0

The reason why K. Prapanjan had to sit out in the last two home matches was the form of Sukesh Hegde. He was in fine form and made most of the opportunities he was given off the bench as he scored nine points in the first two matches while playing as a substitute.

He earned a place in the starting seven for the match against U Mumba and he emerged as the best raider of the team. Even in the match versus Bengaluru Bulls, he scored five raid points to support Maninder Singh. It is likely that he will feature in Bengal Warriors' starting seven more often now as he was one of the key reasons behind the success of the Warriors in Kolkata.
