If Gujarat Fortune Giants' successive run had to be measured, it was their upright defense that won them a lot of matches. Abozar Mighani had come in like a shining sorcerer when his maiden season saw him bringing 65 tackle points in 26 matches with an average of 2.5 tackle point per match.

He certainly was there to tyrannize making things even more difficult for the left raiders like Pardeep Narwal and Rahul Chaudhari in the Pro Kabaddi League. His arsenal moves consist of precisely executed dives over the knees of speedy raiders and astounding blocks. His duo with Fazel in the left corner had managed 122 tackle points overall in the season 5 of Pro Kabaddi league.

He also had a smasher of a debut in the Kabaddi World Cup 2016 when he took a high 5 in the beginning encounter versus the USA. Abozar will play as one of the pillars of the Iranian corner defense once again making a corner partnership with Fazel making things for the Raiders a bit too complex.
