Vishal Lather (left) will have a big responsibility as the team's lone left cover defender.

Jaipur Pink Panthers purchased Vishal Lather's services for a massive sum of ₹25.25 lakh in the season 7 auction. Vishal Lather was a part of Dabang Delhi K.C. for season 5 and one season after that as well. He got a few chances in both seasons but could not make much of an impact.

Vishal has 18 tackle points in 11 matches at an average of 1.64 tackle points. He has 5 super tackles to his name apart from a single 'High 5'. He is an expert in blocking the raiders and can also provide good assistance to the corner defenders.

The team management will highly expect Vishal Lather to perform in the tournament as the squad lacks a proper left cover defender apart from him. While Hooda is a capable defender, Vishal's USP of defending aggressively could come to the party.
