#3 25 Super Tackles

Puneri Paltan's campaign last season would be remembered for their astounding performance in super tackles, and most of the credit goes to some superlative display of strength and intelligence by Sandeep Narwal and Ravi Kumar, who combined together well to keep Puneri Paltan in the hunt for the playoffs.

Given the sobriquet, the 'Beast from the East', Sandeep Narwal has now made the West his home. His tremendous show in the defense for the Puneri Paltan last season with 41 tackle points including 7 super tackles and a High-5, led to a fierce bidding war in the PKL auction, and his services were finally procured by U Mumba at a staggering price of ₹89 lakhs.

Sandeep now has 23 Super Tackles to his name, and a couple more could make him the first player in PKL to achieve the 25 Super Tackle-mark. However, he has to be on his best as close on his heels are two veterans - Jeeva Kumar and Dharmaraj Cheralathan, with 21 super tackles each, who could very well give Narwal a run for his money.
