Haryana Steelers’ all-rounder Mohammadreza Shadloui Chiyaneh became the fastest player to reach 300 career tackle points in the Pro Kabaddi League at the Noida Indoor Stadium on Tuesday.
The Iranian, who plays as a left-corner defender, reached the milestone in Haryana Steelers’ match against U Mumba which it won 48-39.
His powerful tackles proved to be a game-changer for the Steelers as he scored 6 tackle points and also completed 300 tackle points in just 76 matches.
