4) Players with a lot of experience and no big stage fright
When it comes to the big games, the end result always depends on who keeps their nerves, especially in sport. Barring a stark difference in the talent levels of teams competing, things often boil down to players’ ability to think and act as opposed to being breathtaking or classy. Jaipur, within their team, have players with great tactical acumen, nerves of steel and the experience of playing in big matches.
Jasvir Singh and Rajesh Narwal have already won the Pro Kabaddi title with Jaipur while Shabeer Bapu has done the same with U Mumba. The presence of these three has often proved to be the defence between win and loss for Jaipur. Shabeer Bapu, in particular, is nowhere on the leaderboards to be found as far raiding and tackling stats are concerned but what he brings to the table cannot be seen in reports. He is likely to play a big role in deciding the outcome of the final.
