#3 Fazel Atrachali (Gujarat Fortunegiants) vs Ajay Thakur (Tamil Thalaivas)

Fazel Atrachali
Fazel Atrachali has consistently been one of the best defenders in the league

Gujarat have been the best team in the league on a consistent basis and a lot of that is down to Fazel Atrachali's brilliance on the defensive end.

The Iranian powerhouse has scored 38 points in 15 matches and his partnership with Abozar Mighani has been crucial to their performances.

Fazel's physical, aggressive style of defending has helped take Gujarat to the top and Ajay Thakur will have to be smart to overcome that and help the Thalaivas win.

The veteran raider has faced off against Atrachali both in the Pro Kabaddi League as well as in the international arena and will rely on his guile and draw on his experience to get the better of his adversary.

With 75 points from 11 matches, Thakur has been the main man for the team from Tamil Nadu and will be key if his team are to get anything from the match.
