Trending
A typical attacking all-rounder is what he likes to describe himself as. The raiding powerhouse from England, one of the few non-Indian origin players who left his mark on the Kabaddi World Cup with 51 points from the 5 encounters at the group stage.
His USP was his quick feet movements which often left the rival defenders flummoxed giving him the perfect opportunity to score a touch point. Calm and composed, he rarely panicked and his best performances came when England played Australia and Argentina wherein he amassed 22 and 19 points respectively, to also finish as the highest scorer in both the encounters.
A strike rate of 7.6 raids in each outing, he was a delight to watch even for the audiences for he gave them a visual treat of a mini jig after every successful attempt, reflecting his “unfazed even in the face of a calamity” character.
