4. Arjun Deshwal
Arjun Deshwal has continued his beast form as a raider in the league. In the only match he has played till now, the star raider has claimed 17 points. It was the rematch of the final of the last season between Puneri Paltan and Jaipur Pink Panthers. Paltan got a mini redemption, as they won the match by a margin 37-33. The defenders of Jaipur had a poor outing, as they made a lot of mistakes and hampered the efforts of Arjun in the match, who was brilliant as both player and captain.
In the match, Jaipur claimed 24 raid points compared to 19 from Puneri. Comparing it with the tackle points, Pink Panthers claimed only 4 tackle points, compared to 13 tackle points from Paltan, which summed up the story. Deshwal claimed a total of 17 raid points in the match. Out of them, 7 were touch points and 10 were bonus points. He could not keep the opposition players out of the mat for a long time. Rahul Chaudhari’s failure as the support raider and lack of support from the defenders cost Jaipur the match.
