The right cover defender from Maharashtra had a Season 4 to forget but when he was a part of the U Mumba side in Season 2, he was arguably the best defender in his position in the competition. Mane is renowned for his ferocious body blocks, which have seen him pick up a total of four High 5s.
For Season 5, he will join the double defending champions Patna Pirates and will look to regain his old form. He was bought for a bargain price of Rs 36.50 lakhs by the Pirates and has the perfect opportunity to clinch his second PKL title.
