WILL COVERS STEP UP TO SUPPORT SURENDER NADA?

 

• Haryana Steelers have the best defender from PKL Season 5, Surender Nada in left corner. He is likely to be supported by Sachin Shingade and Kuldeep Singh in covers and Vikash at right corner

• Sachin Shingade had a high tackle failure rate of 66% last season.

• Kuldeep Singh did not play much, and finished PKL 5 with just 7 tackle points.

• Right corner, Vikash will also have big boots to fill as he is replacing Mohit Chhillar, who has had a great partnership with Surender Nada. 

• He has scored 26 points from 19 games at an average of 1.3 tackle points per match at a strike rate of 43 in PKL 5.
