U Mumba have a relatively inexperienced squad this season. So the Pro Kabaddi team management has asked Fazel to remain on the mat for as long as possible and lead the juniors.
When asked why Fazel was not so active in the defense during the match against Gujarat Giants, Rajaguru Subramanian told reporters:
U Mumba played a 24-24 draw with Gujarat Giants last night. It was their fifth drawn game of the season. Fazel Atrachali wanted Abhishek Singh to go for a result in the buzzer raid when the scores were level, but the coach asked him to play safe.
