Season 5 was the memorable season for Ernak as he scored 64 tackle points in 21 matches that took the team to the playoffs. Overall, Girish has 228 tackle points in 89 games at an average of 2.56 tackle points. With 11 super tackles and 15 High 5s, Girish is the sixth-best defender in Pro Kabaddi history.

Girish will form a cover-corner duo with PO Surjeet Singh which could be one of the lethal duos of the upcoming seventh season.
