Dabang Delhi: Strength

With the inclusion of Nilesh Shinde, Bajirao Hodage, Sunil and Meraj Sheykh, Dabang Delhi have a strong defensive combination which can take on any raiding unit.

Bajirao, Sunil and Nilesh have a tackle strike rates above 40 per cent in each of their last 3 Pro Kabaddi League seasons.

Dabang Delhi: Weakness

Except Meraj Sheykh, Dabang Delhi are lacking individual match-winners in their squad. Meraj Sheykh is not a primary raider and would require support from other players. The lack of alternatives seems to be a weak point for Dabang Delhi in PKL 5.
