The man from Iran has been arguably the best foreign player over the course of the four seasons and is a two-time PKL champion. He lifted the trophy in Season 2 with U Mumba and then was a key part of the Patna Pirates side that won in Season 4.
He also led the Iranian side to a runners-up place in the World Cup, where they came very close to defeating India in the final. His defensive tackles and charges have been extremely effective and while Patna have retained raider Pardeep Narwal, keeping Fazel would have been an equally understandable move.
