A young talent who broke onto the scene in his debut with Dabang Delhi K.C. back in Season 3, Sandeep Dhull has cemented his place as one of the finest left corner defenders in the league's history. He has shown his caliber on numerous occasions and has emerged as a mature defender with his brilliant ankle holds and dives.

In his two seasons with Dabang Delhi, Dhull left an impression as a super tackle specialist. After getting snapped up by the Jaipur Pink Panthers in the Season 6 auction, he remained their top defender for two seasons in a row and kept the orange arm-band for most of Season 7.

Additionally, Dhull finished as Jaipur's most successful defender in his comeback season with 67 tackle points and four High-5s. The ankle-hold specialist improved his stats furthermore, scoring 73 tackle points in 22 matches at a staggering average of 3.32 tackle points per game.

Even though the team failed to make it to the playoffs, Dhull's precise defensive skills stole the headlines for a major chunk of the season. However, his remarkable performances haven't yet earned him a national call-up, although that could change if he continues charting his current upward trajectory.
