Jyoti Sharma’s Take
In my opinion, Fazel Atrachali, the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the season, is the hero of the PKL 12 final. Undoubtedly, he inspired the team with his clutch defensive performances and experience, including a match-winning tackle in the final that helped secure the PKL champions title.
