Matches - 17, Raid Points - 41, Average Raid Points/Match - 2.41

From being the lead raider of Dabang Delhi K.C. to being a substitute one, Meraj Sheykh's stocks have fallen a lot. He had been playing with consistency in the previous editions where his average raid points per match were close to 5. However, this year, his numbers witnessed a sharp dip as he ended the tournament with just 41 raid points in 17 games at an average of 2.41 raid points per match.

Since the Iranian was not performing up to the mark, Vijay became a regular feature in the playing seven of Dabang Delhi K.C. Sheykh scored just one Super 10 in the entire season and also, his successful raid percentage was below 50.

Given that he can play well in the defence too, the top officials would have expected Sheykh to contribute more tackle points to the team's score. But in the 17 games, he bagged just a solitary tackle point, much to the disappointment of the fans.

Delhi had retained him this year but the chances that he stays in the Dabang Delhi K.C. squad until 2020 are very low.
