In Season 9, playing for the Patna Pirates against Dabang Delhi K.C., Chiyaneh delivered a defensive masterclass in a closely contested match.
He effectively subdued the opposition’s raiders to the best of his abilities. His dominance was evident as he completed eight tackles, all of which were Super Tackles.
Chiyaneh’s formidable performance made it challenging for Dabang Delhi K.C.’s star raider, Naveen Kumar, to score against him, keeping the Pirates competitive throughout the game.
Despite the eventual loss, the match will be etched in memory for Chiyaneh’s extraordinary effort, contributing 16 tackle points and securing the second-best defender position of the season with a total of 84 tackle points, five points behind Jaipur Pink Panthers’ Ankush.
