Pro Kabaddi League 2017 Season 5: Five talking points from Day 49 of PKL 5

#4 Kashiling Adake - best defender?

Kashiling Adake was required on the defensive end tonight against Dabang Delhi

With U Mumba playing so many raiders, some of them had to pick up the slack when it came to defensive tackle points. There was no shying away from defensive duties tonight for the raiders as Anup Kumar, Kashi, Shabeer all had to chip in with tackle attempts.

Rather ironically, it was Kashi who finished as Mumba's best defender on the night. The highly talented raider had 3 tackle points to his name from 4 tackles thrown in to go with 4 points from his raiding in this low-scoring contest.

His ankle-hold, in particular, did a lot of damage, managing to unseat quite a few of Dabang's raiders. It remains to be seen whether Mumba continue with this approach against stronger teams.
