PKL 2019 | Team’s harmony was spot on, says Nitesh Kumar

“We already have the utmost confidence in our roster. All we needed was some trust in each other’s abilities to get the chemistry right and we are finally doing just that. In the last match, it wasn’t at the level that would've liked but today, the team harmony was spot on,” skipper Nitesh Kumar said in the post-match press conference.

The team was playing the match in the absence of two of their most experienced raiders Rishank Devadiga and Monu Goyat but they didn’t let that phase them. Shrikant Jadhav stepped up and picked up the slack for the raiding unit and finished the match with 15 points. Their defense did equally well if we set aside some unnecessary advance tackle attempts of Ashu Singh (5). The highest scorer in defence was the left corner defender Sumit who scored his third high five in this match and held the defence together.
