Ponparthiban Subramanian made his VIVO Pro Kabaddi debut back in Season 5 where he represented Tamil Thalaivas. A right cover defender from Tamil Nadu, Ponparthiban provided decent support to his cover partner Manjeet Chhillar and helped the Thalaivas' defence.

In a match against Telugu Titans, Ponparthiban tackled Nilesh Salunkhe thrice with precise body blocks and ankle holds. He scored seven tackle points in the same encounter and proved his mettle as a superb right cover.

Overall, Ponparthiban scored 17 tackle points in 12 matches at an average of 1.42 tackle points. With a single High 5 to his name, he scored with a tackle strike rate of 33.33%.

The team management will heavily rely upon Ponparthiban as he'll look to up his game from last season and improve his numbers to book a permanent spot in the team.
