Pro Kabaddi 2019: 5 Players who have disappointed the most

#3 Jaideep (Patna Pirates)

Jaideep's season has been far from convincing.

51 tackle points from 21 games and an average of 2.47 tackle points per game don't sound bad for a defender from any team, let alone the Patna Pirates, a team which has struggled to pick up tackle points. Jaideep's presence is so vital to this team that the team's total defensive output depends on how confident he is and sadly, he hasn't been so convincing with the timing of his tackles.

At least half of the tackle points he scored this season don't really belong to him and the tackle was made successful only due to the efforts of other defenders in reining the raider back. He has made 65 unsuccessful tackles and conceded so many important points in Do-or-die raid situations failing to keep his calm.

Patna weren't able to revive Pardeep on most occasions and the defence did play a part in that. Being the leader of the defence after Surender Nada's injury, Jaideep should have shown more composure on many occasions and to think of it, Hadi Oshtorak in the right corner was much better. This was a disappointing season for Jaideep despite his points not suggesting the same.
