Pro Kabaddi League 2017 Season 5: Five talking points from Day 63 of PKL 5

#3 Defensively dominant duo of Fazel Atrachali and Abozar Mighani tough to ignore

Fazel Atrachali and Abozar Mighani's defensive combination is extraordinary

More than the fact that Gujarat Fortunegiants controlled the offensive juggernaut that Patna Pirates are, it was the ease with which they did it that was impressive.

The credit for that should be given to the two defensive stalwarts who ply their trade for the team from Gujarat, Fazel Atrachali and Abozar Mighani.

The duo from Iran occupy the two most important positions on the mat, with Atrachali playing left corner and Mighani playing right corner. They relish the big stage and were eager to take down the duo of Pardeep and Monu, as they understood the importance of striking a mental blow.

Using their strength and speed to great effect, the two of them marshalled their troops very well, with Atrachali using his powerful dashes and Mighani using his ankle and thigh holds to stop the Pirates.

Fazel scored a high 5, ending with five tackle points, while Abozar finished with four tackle points. With the two of them manning the Gujarat defence, they are primed to challenge for the title.
