Former Pro Kabaddi League: Former Pro Kabaddi League star Rishank Devadiga weighed in on Gujarat Giants captain Mohammadreza Shadloui’s leadership, particularly during his last-ditch raid in the tiebreaker against U Mumba in PKL 12, saying the Iranian played with bit of overconfidence and looked clueless at times.

Gujarat Giants kicked off our PKL 12 campaign with a spirited fight against U Mumba, falling agonisingly short in a nerve-wracking tie-breaker. After a 29-29 deadlock at full time, the contest went down to the wire before the opposition edged it 6-5 in the tie-breaker.

"There was definitely a bit of overconfidence in him. Shadloui was under pressure and looked clueless at times. And as captain, he should have read the game much better. During that last raid by Shadloui, Sunil came forward willing to concede a point, and Shadloui should have accepted it with both hands," Devadiga said on JioHotstar.
