Left cover: Jeeva Kumar
Experienced left cover Jeeva Kumar is the 3rd U.P player to make our team but the lack of support from teammates means the Yoddha left Sonepat without a win.
Jeeva endured a mixed night against Tamil Thalaivas but was superb against the Gujarat Fortunegiants scoring a High 5. Jeeva’s well-timed dashes and blocks meant that his team took added valuable points to their tally as they look to reach the playoffs in their very first season.
The veteran has now scored 34 tackle points, the most by a U.P player in defence and among regular covers in PKL only Surjeet has scored more tackle points.
