Vishal Bhardwaj has been outstanding in Telugu Titans' defense.

Matches Played - 2, Total Tackle Points - 13

The current holder of the orange arm-band, Vishal Bhardwaj improved by leaps and bounds after a slow start in the initial few matches. He became a stalwart in the Telugu Titans' defense where he executed breath-taking ankle and diving holds to score two back-to-back High 5s.

Vishal Bhardwaj's eight tackle points against Jaipur Pink Panthers saw them dominate the-then table-toppers and forced them to concede the match to the Titans. Vishal stopped the dominant offense brigade that included Deepak Niwas Hooda, Deepak Narwal and Nilesh Salunke as Jaipur surrendered to the Titans 21-24.

Telugu Titans faced Puneri Paltan in their second match of the Delhi leg where Vishal scored his 2nd successive High-5 against the flamboyant raiders of Pune. He scored five points that included two super tackles to his name. The Titans lost the match against Pune 27-34.

Vishal Bhardwaj has 42 tackle points in 11 matches at an average of 3.82 tackle points. He has achieved four High-5s in the season thus far.
