The experienced Manjeet Chhillar showed glimpses of his Season 2 self in his defined defensive performance against Nitin Tomar & co.

He was responsible for inflicting the critical all-out on the Puneri Paltan when he dashed G.B.More out of the court, and then his double-thigh hold on Paltan's raiding superstar, Nitin Tomar clinched the momentum in the Thalaivas favor which eventually lead to their victory.

His versatility on the court, as he effortlessly moves from the left corner to the left cover has made him one of the pillars on which the Thalaivas fortune rests this season.
