Pro Kabaddi League 2017 Season 5: Top 5 players who will be eager to put Season 4 behind them

#4 Vishal Mane

Vishal Mane (tackling) will play for the defending champions, Patna Pirates in the fifth season of PKL

The Bengal Warriors finished at the bottom of the table last season and a large share for this outcome can be attributed to the defensive failure of the team. Vishal Mane switched sides from Season 2 champions U Mumba to Bengal ahead of the fourth edition and was expected to replicate the role he played for his former side. But that never really happened at all, with silly errors in terms of timing and wrong moves he granted easy points to the rival shore.

The blocks and pushes also lacked the same brute strength and sheer power from earlier on, as is evident by his mere 31 tackle points. Post the auctions, Vishal has moved on to the defending champions, Patna Pirates where he will look to combine with Sachin Shingade to form an impregnable wall against the raiders.
