One of the best defenders in the PKL, Fazel has enjoyed another successful season so far. With acres of experience under his belt, the Iranian was chosen as the Priority Pick by Gujarat and the left-corner has repaid the faith that they had entrusted to him.

While Abozar and the rest of the defence unit have made life easier for him, Fazel's presence on the left corner has been a major boost to the rest of the line-up with the Iranian ever ready to attack and assist equally.

This season, Fazel has picked 38 tackle points from 15 matches and although the numbers do not paint a pretty picture, he's been an able hand and has played the secondary defender to many tackles, passing on confidence to youngsters in the team to go for the kill.
