After a very poor start to the 2019 season which saw PDRM going winless in their first five matches, the arrival of Elavarasan as the new head coach has seen a mini revival for The Cops with two wins in their last three matches.
Poor weather disrupted their FA Cup second round clash against Sarawak but PDRM claimed victory in the rearranged fixture to run out 5-2 winners despite trailing 0-2 heading into half time in the match played at Selayang Stadium on April 9.
Drawn against Super League side PKNP in the third round, Elavarasan is hopeful that the upturn in form will perserere but is well aware of the potential danger that PKNP possess within their ranks, themselves finding similar surge in recent form.
