5 best defensive units in season 3 of Star Sports Pro Kabaddi League

It is said defence wins you championships while attack wins you games. This saying couldn't be more true for the game of Kabaddi. Even the most rampant of raiders needs a solid defensive unit behind him to turn his contributions into a winning one.  Season three of the Pro Kabaddi league is a testimony to this fact as the best four defenses in the league made it to the semi-finals of the competition. The Telugu Titans and Dabang Delhi had great raiders but a disjointed defensive unit led to their early demise from the competition.Just like the Actibonds in Castrol Activ work like a complete unit and protect the engine from wear and tear even after the engine is turned off,  the defence works best when all members pull their weight equally.Here, we take a look back at the top five defensive units in Pro Kabaddi League season three -

#5 Telugu Titans (101 successful tackles)

The defense was quite clearly Telugu Titans' Achilles heel last season and the Titans looked determined to put it right.

The signing of the experienced Dharmaraj Cheralathan and Manoj Kumar in defense looked to have added the much needed solidity to that defense, but inconsistent performances meant the Titans failed to rech the semi-finals. On their day though, the combination between Cheralathan, Manoj Kumar and Iranian Meraj Sheykh looked quite ominous for the opposition.
