With just 27 tackle points in 13 games, Patna's experienced campaigner has been struggling for form this season. Against the Bengal Warriors, the cover defender was completely exposed. He was hyperactive and dived in for advanced tackles without thinking twice.

His overaggressive approach led to him conceding multiple cheap points to Bengal who in a sense relied on him to stay alive in the match. Usually a reliable defender, Mane was a shadow of his former self tonight.

He failed to read the game and jumped into the fire when he shouldn't have. For a player who is the vice-captain of Patna Pirates, Mane didn't do much to establish himself against Bengal's raiders, often finding himself in no man's land. He attempted 8 tackles and was successful just once.
