#3 Bajirao Hodage
Before the fifth season began, Dabang Delhi looked a formidable side on paper and that was majorly due to the presence of experienced names of Nilesh Shinde and Bajirao Hodage in the defence. But much to their frustration, Hodage and Shinde failed to fire for the team together in the early days of the season.
While Nilesh Shinde chipped in with vital contributions from time to time, Hodage hadn't produced a single notable performance before the Mumbai leg.
But all that changed in Mumbai as Hodage finally rose to the occasion against U Mumba and, though they may appear just four points on paper, each point had its weight in gold in a match that eventually ended with a difference of one point separating both the teams.
His dashes brought the likes of Anup Kumar and Kashiling Adake down and provided Delhi the belief that helped them close the match, something that they hadn't been able to do well before this.
