Getting close to Jeet, as we've bought the 24 year old defender, Ajeet! #IdhuNammaAatam #VivoProKabaddiAuction

Perhaps the only position where Tamil Thalaivas do not have an experienced name is the left cover. They have a host of young defenders in their squad who have not played a single match in the PKL. However, the one young defender which promises to deliver playing in the left cover position is Ajeet.

Tamil Thalaivas can try this 24-year-old young gun in the first few matches at least and then decide his future according to his performances on the mat. We have seen young players like Darshan do well for the Chennai-based franchise in the cover position and who knows Ajeet may emerge as the new Darshan of PKL.

The franchise has a lot of cover options in their squad so it may not surprise many if they keep on changing their cover defender once in every 5 or 6 matches. This will also help in unearthing the talent they have bought.
