Left cover: Vinod Narwal
Having played for the Patna Pirates in the past, Vinod Narwal is an absolute wizard in terms of his thigh holds from the left cover position. He can assist the corner defender pretty well during the ankle hold/dive effort brought by the right corner.
He can magnetize the right raiders by pulling them distant from the midline. Vinod has played 25 matches and has brought 48 tackle points. With the lack of options for cover position, Vinod Narwal will be most probably picked for the playing 7. However, to give continuity to his place, he will have to showcase his hidden abilities.
