5 Players who have been valuable for U Mumba over the years

#1 Anup Kumar

The finest legendary captain Kabaddi has to offer, Anup Kumar.

One of the best raiders and captains Kabaddi has gifted its fans, Anup Kumar is a legend on his own. He has led U Mumba with a strategical mindset over the five seasons of Pro Kabaddi perhaps in the coolest mind ever. His ability to control the excitement of young players, let the experienced ones show their skills, and slow down the pace of the game all as per situations has become an inspiration to a lot of Kabaddi players whom we cheer today.

Having played 78 matches with U Mumba, Anup Kumar has 489 raid points to his tally averaging 6.26 raid points. 13 Super 10s, 20.63% of U Mumba's total points in Pro Kabaddi (546 total points out of U Mumba's 2647 points). This 2012 Arjuna Awardee and 2-time gold medalist led U Mumba to its title victory in 2015 and also India to 2016 Kabaddi World Cup.

The master of toe touches and bonus taking efficiency is still Anup's arsenal which a lot of defenders find it difficult to read. It will be the first time when Anup wears the jersey of U Mumba's arch-rivals Jaipur Pink Panthers in Pro Kabaddi Season 6. For a lot U Mumba fans after all these years, they'll miss Anup Kumar immensely as their captain cool somewhere in their hearts.
