Abozar Mighani (Right corner) – 66 points in 24 matches
The 28-year-old Iranian proved to be an inspired pick from the Gujarat Fortunegiants as he led their defence all the way to the final in his debut season. Mighani impressed at the World Cup last year, where Iran finished runners-up, and he continued in the same vein in this tournament. He was also one of the very few defenders to subdue Pardeep but came out second best against him in the match that mattered the most – the final.
