Pro Kabaddi League Season 5: Five player battles to watch out for in the Sonepat leg

#2 Fazel Atrachali (Gujarat Fortunegiants) vs Nitin Tomar (U.P. Yoddha)

Fazel Atrachali has been key to Gujarat's success

The team from Gujarat have dominated proceedings in Zone A, having scored 43 points so far, and have won the most number of matches in the league at this stage, seven.

On the other hand, U.P. Yoddha have kept a steady pace and have accumulated 33 points from their 12 matches. Both teams are primed for a deep run in the tournament and the Yoddha would be looking to close the gap.

Gujarat's Iranian powerhouse, Fazel Atrachali, has been a key cog in their wheel, as his athletic and flamboyant defensive play has helped the team defeat their opponents convincingly. With 28 points, the man who plays left corner will have his task cut out when he faces Nitin Tomar, who is the Yoddha's leading raider with 75 points from 12 matches.

Tomar's raiding has laid the platform for his team's strong performances so far and he would be focused on continuing in the same vein.
