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

Jaipur Pink Panthers

It doesn’t come as a surprise to see the Pink Panthers are back in the semi-finals of Pro Kabaddi League as they have had a brilliant season four.

Their team is testament to the fact that a star raider alone can’t win you matches. The Panthers have a successful tackling percentage of 38. The chief architect of this solidity has been Amit Hooda, who along with his teammates Ran Singh and Rohit Rana has tightened the screws at the back for the Panthers.

Hooda – a twenty-year-old emerging star, continues to maintain top form. He loves a physical battle and will go to any length to secure the elusive defensive point.

The trio worked in unison this season, producing some stunning team tackles, and were a major reason their team conceded only 390 points this season in total.

Telugu Titans

Not many would have expected the Titans to top any list concerned with defending as they’ve always been an attack-minded side. But in season four, the men in yellow shored up their defence and it’s paid handsome dividends.

On an average, Telugu make over ten successful tackles per match, the highest among all eight sides. The trio of Sandeep Narwal, veteran Jasmer Singh Gulia and youngster Sandeep Dhull have been miserly in defence, ensuring their safe passage to the semi-finals.

Telugu have conceded the least number of points, 380, over the course of their 14 matches, a stingy average of 27 points for their opposition per match.
