5 players who could become captain of the Indian Kabaddi Team at South Asian Games 2019

#2 Pawan Sehrawat

Pawan Sehrawat is seen raiding for India 7 against World 7

The 'Hi-Flyer' Pawan Sehrawat wreaked havoc in PKL 6, when his raiding heroics led the Bengaluru Bulls to a maiden title win. He has been a sensational raider, performing every single raiding move like the escape and running hand touch to perfection.

Pawan scored 271 raid points in the sixth season and with high expectations ahead of season 7, he led the Bulls' offense yet again. With Rohit Kumar missing out from a major chunk of action due to an injury mid-season, Pawan was asked to lead the side in the star raider's absence.

Contributing 64.92% of the raid points, Pawan went berserk in the offense single-handedly as he led an inexperienced Bengaluru Bulls unit to the playoffs for the second consecutive season. He finished his campaign with 346 raid points, apart from 18 Super 10s, and was a key member of the Bulls' campaign.

The captaincy stint certainly made Pawan a lot more mature, as he was seen pushing the youngsters to take up the charge and perform up to their full potential. Pawan also controlled the defenders from making any advance attempts, which helped the Bengaluru Bulls win close matches at the business end of the league.

Perhaps an assured name heading into the 13th South Asian Games, Pawan Sehrawat could be a perfect skipper in a newly revamped Indian Kabaddi team. His role of leading from the front could help India win their tenth gold medal with ease this year.
