Ranking Pro Kabaddi League teams based on defensive performances in season 4

Dabang Delhi

The capital side had a season to forget, losing nine of their fourteen games. Consistency was a real problem for Delhi. However, they definitely had some positives, one of which was their stellar defensive record.

When it came to executing successful tackles, they were on right up there, collecting an average of eight tackle points every game. By scoring eighteen super tackles, they trailed only Patna in this department.

Left cover, Sachin Shingade, really shone through with thirty-nine tackles to his name, making their defense very tough to breach, as they conceded 410 points in their 14 matches.

It was their raiders who let them down this season.

Patna Pirates

The men in green have been lethal in defence, despite having seen the league’s best defender from last season, Sandeep Narwal, join the Telugu Titans. A large part of this success could be attributed to three men – left corner, Fazel Atrachali, left cover, Bajirao Hodage and captain, Dharmaraj Cheralathan.

Together, they have formed a potent partnership on the mat. Fazel is currently the league’s second best defender, with a massive 41 tackles to his name. The Pirates have defended very well as a unit and in total conceded only 404 points and executed 126 successful tackles in their fourteen league matches.

Captain, Dharmaraj has led his team ably when defending and ensured his side remain title contenders in season four.
