#4 Pardeep Narwal vs the Iranians

Across Season 5, we've seen Patna's star man struggle to open his account and then suddenly burst into life. Against Gujarat Fortunegiants, Pardeep once again found it extremely tough to unlock the opposition defense.

He went without a single point for the first ten minutes of the match. Four raids and zero points before he stepped up for a do-or-die raid in his fifth. He successfully took out Mahendra Rajput and opened his account.

Gujarat's corner defenders, Fazel and Abozar gave him a hard time on the mat and the Iranian duo's duel with Pardeep was a sight to behold. With Narwal focus solely on the Iranians, Gujarat's secondary defenders stole the show with their expertly executed advanced tackles on Patna's captain.

All in all, this was by far, Pardeep's most challenging night of Season 5. He must go back to the drawing board to assess how he can improve.
