2016 Kabaddi World Cup: 5 foreign players who can shine

Meraj Sheykh will play a key role in Team Iran’s success

#4 Tae Deok Eom

Tae Deok Eom, the smiling assassin has to fire at the World Cup

Nicknamed as "The Flying Rabbit", the all-rounder from Korea was always a treat to watch out for on the rare times when he stepped forward onto the mat in the Pro Kabaddi League be it previously for Patna Pirates or for Jaipur Pink Panthers during the recent times. His unorthodox style of play which often leaves the opposition flummoxed stems from his use of techniques of Wrestling and Taekwondo in Kabaddi.

One more reason to take notice of the player who captained the bronze medal winning South Korean side at the 2014 Asian Games is his unique celebration when he is playing or his excited cheering for his playing compatriots if he is on the substitute bench. Even though he has had limited outing in Pro Kabaddi, he has gathered a total of 21 points and also won the Season 3 title with the Patna Pirates and finished as a runner-up with the Jaipur Pink Panthers in Season 4.
