Across five U20 Championship appearances as a replacement, Chkhortolia has built a profile defined almost entirely by his defensive output, averaging over six tackles per game and reaching 16 in a single match. His carry numbers are minimal, suggesting his primary value on the field is disrupting opposition ball rather than generating go-forward. The consistency of that defensive contribution across limited minutes points to a player deployed with a clear and narrow brief.
