This player from Services board was the find of the tournament in the Dubai Kabaddi Masters 2018. A quick-witted raider who improvises smart raiding approach on the mat made a spectacular international debut when he got 28 raid points out of 40 raids which he played thus making him a definite choice in the starting line up!

#5 Left cover: Deepak Niwas Hooda

Deepak Niwas Hooda will be looking to showcase his defending abilities.

Normally a raiding all-rounder, the selection committee has shown an immense faith over Deepak Niwas Hooda over the maturity of India's best all-rounder; Manjeet Chhillar.

Even though his overall tournament in Kabaddi Masters was a bit silent, he presented how he is one of the fittest campaigners around when he executed a frontal block over Mohammad Nabibaksh in the night of the finals versus Iran.

Hooda will look to leave a mark indeed with his more defending and lesser raiding improvisation.
