#4 Somvir Shekhar
The right cover will once again rekindle his partnership with captain, Manjeet Chhillar after having played together for Puneri Paltan last time.
His calm and no-nonsense approach perfectly complements Manjeet’s aggressive stance. He may have only scored 22 points in season 4 but one ought to know that a right cover’s responsibility is to provide the right corner with opportunities to execute tackles. He will be tasked with doing the dirty work and in return receive minimum plaudits.
#5 Manoj Dhull
The 21-year-old has the opportunity to shine like never before. In the previous editions, he wasn’t deployed regularly which hampered his progress. Consider this – as a whole, Jaipur have a 39% success rate in executing tackles.
Manoj, meanwhile. has a success rate of 41%, which pegs him a tad higher than average. The right corner will be tasked with keeping tabs on some of the best raiders in the league. If he comes out on top, Jaipur can go a long way in the tournament.
