Standing at well above six feet in height, Abolfazl has made optimum use of his great height to procure easy raid points for Dabang Delhi.

The Iranian did not find a starting spot in the initial couple of matches but after consistent performances as a sub, the lanky raider found a place in the starting seven and has managed to get Delhi out of troubled waters on more than just one occasion.

In the eleven matches this season, Abolfazl has picked up 58 points with his quick hand touches and cunning extension of his arms and legs. Although Delhi has not managed to have the best of seasons, Abolfazl's good form has been a bright spark in the campaign.
