Matches - 9, Tackle Points - 8, Average Successful Tackles/Match - 0.88

The left cover defender of Bengal Warriors, Viraj Vishnu Landge was earlier a part of the Dabang Delhi K.C. franchise. He had played 26 matches for Delhi where he scored 22 points over two seasons. While he had decent numbers heading into this season, his unsuccessful tackles increased by leaps and bounds this year.

Landge attempted 44 tackles in Pro Kabaddi 2019 of which only 8 were successful. The raiding unit got under pressure on multiple occasions due to Landge's mistakes. He had a poor tackle strike rate of 18.18% hence, there is no reason why the Bengal Warriors should keep him in their squad for PKL 2020.

His worst outing came against Patna Pirates when the duo of Pardeep Narwal and Jang Kun Lee relentlessly attacked him. Landge committed 12 failed tackles in that match where he could finish with just 1 tackle point.

Thus, these are the three under-performers that the Season 7 winners might release before the next season of Pro Kabaddi.
