2016 Kabaddi World Cup: Top 5 defenders from the group stage

#2 Jasvir Singh (Australia)

Jasvir Singh (L) was a force to reckon with on the defensive side of things

Jasvir Singh is one fierce defender. The cornerstone of the Australian team had a good outing at the World Cup despite the fact that his team did not have a good run and languished at the fifth position in Pool A.

But akin to his namesake in the Indian team, Jasvir who is one of the three professional kabaddi players in the national squad amassed a total of 19 total points at the World Cup.

He will have a lot of credit to be attributed to former Indian national team player Navneet Gautam, who was the coach of the Australian team and a defender par excellence in his prime. With a strike rate of 3.8 successful tackles per match, he was surely a force to reckon with especially in the clash against Argentina where he claimed a Super 10.
