5 Pro Kabaddi League stars who have never played for India

#4 Ran Singh (120 PKL matches)

Punjab's left corner defender, Ran Singh made his debut in the inaugural season of the PKL and played a prominent role in leading Jaipur Pink Panthers to the title. With his precise timing and massive upper body strength, Ran Singh has been a consistent performer and has gotten ranked as the 10th best defender in the history of the league.

After representing the Jaipur Pink Panthers for four seasons, Ran Singh made the switch to the Bengal Warriors in Season 5 when he delivered his career-best tally of 52 tackle points with 2 High-5s to his name. A master of ankle holds and body blocks, Ran Singh has been a veteran in the game.

Having played 120 matches in the PKL, Ran Singh has scored 234 tackle points and inflicted 14 super tackles as well. Although the defender has not played for the Indian national side, his stock across the seven seasons of the league has grown substantially, meaning that a national call-up would firmly justify his growth.
