In spite of having good corner defenders in the team, if the covers go for advance tackles, the team gifts lots of points to the opposition in Kabaddi. The team's last year's cover defenders, Darshan J., and C. Arun had a nightmare of a time in the cover defence.

In the second match versus U.P. Yoddha, the shades started becoming real as Darshan J. attempted a lot of dashes when Prashant Kumar Rai was not even close to the bonus line, allowing the raider to cross the midline easily.

Also in the next match versus Telugu Titans, Darshan J. gifted Rahul Chaudhari 4 touch points without a single successful tackle. C. Arun who was a promising super tackle specialist didn't contribute to the team at all. He targetted the lower body of the raiders from the baulk line itself, allowing the raiders to reach the midline easily.

Darshan J. could score 19.04% successful tackles only (4 tackle points in 5 matches) and C. Arun could score 1 tackle points in 9 attempts.
