Manpreet Kumar came off the bench to top score with 13 raid points, while Akshay Ahri impressed with an all-round display, earning 12 points. Their defense was solid, with Anurag Omvir achieving a High 5.

Gowtham stole the show with a Super 10, while Gajenthiramoorthi Murugesan was a defensive powerhouse, racking up nine tackle points and two raid points.
