Right cover: Sunil Kumar
Sunil Kumar was until now in the shadows of fellow defenders Abozar Mighani, Fazel Atrachali and Parwesh Bhainswal, but he came into his own in the Pune leg, scoring 14 tackle points with the help of 2 High 5s. Both of his High 5s came against home team Puneri Paltan which helped Gujarat clinch the top spot. His fine performance means he became the 3rd Gujarat defender to complete a half-century of tackle points in PKL 5.
