#3 James Odhiambo Obilo (Kenya)
With 18 successful tackles, Obila sits pretty on the third position on the leaderboard in that category. He had a relatively quiet start to the tournament with a string of poor scores, particularly in the matches against Poland, Iran and Thailand with just 2 tackle points.
However, the agile and mighty defender erased the blemish of his unsuccessful attempts when he bounced back with a new world record of 13 tackle points in a single match against the Japanese, wherein he powered his team to a 27-48 victory.
With a strike rate of 3.6 and a total of 22 points to his credit, James has rightly earned the repute of a daunting defender and will be a key player to notice in the next instalment of Pro Kabaddi.
