Foreigner's Top 7
Defenders: Abozar Mighani (right corner), Farhad Milagardhan (Right cover), Fazel Athrachali (Left corner)
Raiders: Abolfazl Maghsoudlou, Jang Kun Lee, Mohsen Maghsoudhlou.
All-rounder: Meraj Sheykh (C)
In a rather shoddy campaign for the Dabang Delhi, one of the only bright sparks was the form of Meraj Sheykh, who used himself primarily as a raider and collected 96 raid points from 20 games. With a unique ability to travel the court at a fast pace, the Iranian brought out the scorpion kick to good effect while he was also useful in the left cover position on many occasions as a defender.
Abozar Mighani, playing his debut season stamped his authority and how, amassing a total of 65 tackle points from 24 matches after putting in some vital ankle holds and strong thigh holds. In addition to this, he supported the others in the defence with strong dashes.
Picked as the priority pick ahead of the season, a lot depended on Fazel Athrachali to lead the defence and he responded fabulously well, leading his team to the finals in their debut season. Marshalling his troops from the left corner, the Iranian not only put in challenging tackles to pick 57 points from 24 games but played a helping hand to excellent effect which gave Gujarat the extra impetus to push for a win in every game.
Playing second fiddle to Maninder Singh all through the season, Korean Jang Kun Lee showed what he is made up of, collecting bonus points with ease to keep the scoreboard ticking while also going in for the Do or Die raids on some occasions. From 21 games, he picked up 89 points and his agile raiding caught the defenders off guard on many occasions that sees him take a place in this seven.
Tall and quick on the mat, Abolfazl Maghsoudlou made optimum use of the chances given to him and gave skipper Meraj the raiding support that he needed. Although he came in as a substitute in an initial couple of games, his ability to pick points consistently saw him feature in the starting seven while and was also given a go at the Do or Die raids in which he used his height to good advantage.
Following a good run in the Kabaddi World Cup, Mohsen Maghsoudlou was snapped up by the Titans in the auctions and although he was summoned only in some dire situations, the Iranian took up the challenge and delivered that took the Titans out of troubled waters many a time and his bond with countryman Meraj could come to good use for this team.
A strong defender with an ability to raid as well, Farhad Milagardhan featured in the Titans' starting seven and played a good hand this season. The Iranian all-rounder's understanding with Vishal on the left corner was a good sight to see while he himself put in some strong blocks and fast dashes to halt the opposition raiders charge.
