@umumba Why are defenders fearing while tackling against ashu malik. They are kind of scared to tackle him..

"The defence has to be better when Ajit isn't playing. Anil Chaprana had got a good defensive unit last time he was the coach but had weak raiders. Here we have a raider who is performing well from last 2 matches and one who is out. But the defence is a shambles. Get a group!"

"This was a really disappointing performance from the team, there weren’t any positives to take from today’s match. After waiting so many years for success, hopes are starting to fade this season also. Hopefully, we improve"
