#4 Fazel Atrachali
Gujarat possess an ace up their sleeve as they secured the services of arguably the best defender in the world right now, Fazel Atrachali. He will lead the side’s back line that comprises some solid, bankable defenders. There aren’t many defenders in the league who can win matches single-handedly, but Atrachali is one of them.
When he gets into the dangerous rhythm of delivering body blows and thigh holds, there’s no stopping him.
#5 Sunil Kumar
At 20 years of age, Sunil Kumar went for a hefty sum at the auctions. The fact that Gujarat’s management paid Rs 30.4 lakh for his services is a testament to their belief in him. He spent season 4 with the Patna Pirates. While he played only one match there, he would have imbibed some vital tricks from some of the best players in the game. It’s time for him to put all his knowledge into practice for Gujarat this season.
