#1 Ajay Thakur
One man who can steal the thunder in a blitz from the rival team is India’s tall, talismanic raider Ajay Thakur. With 52 raid points, he is second on the leadeboard for most raid points, and is tipped to go past and claim the first position in the finals.
The lanky raider whose key moves include the running hand touch and the frog jump, has also bagged 4 consecutive Super 10’s and seems to be on a level of his own, all together unstoppable in his stride.
He is in his groove and will rightly keep the Iranian defenders, Suleiman Pehelwani, Milaghardan and Fazel Atrachali on their toes! When questioned about Meraj’s statement of intent about Iran winning the World Cup, the raider just laughed it off saying, “He is wrong, it’s impossible! The title will be ours!”
Thakur then will play a key role in the Indian team success in the finals, he will have to carry his form ahead in the same manner from previous encounters to ensure a win for the home team!
