Asian Games 2018: Predicting Iran's starting seven for the tournament

Left cover: Mohammad Malak

A new rising left cover defender, Malak has been outstanding since Day 1.

They say "The first impression is the last impression." When Mohammad Malak debuted in the first match versus South Korea in Kabaddi Masters 2018, he attained 6 tackle points in 6 attempts with a strike rate of 100% success.

The culmination of the match came in the first half itself when he tackled Jang Kun Lee with a dive on the knees which is a hectic thing to do from the cover position. He showed how he targets both the knees showing nostalgia for Ravinder Pahal and is also a specialist of the back hold. This cover defender who wears a headband is an exciting addition to the Iranian lineup and will look to execute his class on the mat.
