This should be a surprise inclusion for a lot of readers out there. But a raiding unit needs to comprise a mix of raiding from both sides, left and right raiding. Rahul is made up of both. His form might be no short of a zigzag puzzle but still the 'poster boy' has flexible raiding skills that enable him to execute stretchy running hand touches. Not to forget he depicted what he is made up of scoring nine points as a top raider in league stage match versus Kenya. Team India might use this approach of mixing both side raiding which might come into play.

#7 Left corner: Girish Maruti Ernak

Girish Maruti Ernak has been on the top of the world at present as a left corner. His accomplishments with Maharashtra winning them their title after 11-year drought and Pro Kabaddi League as he won them a lot of matches with his ankle holds and strong body blocks.

He was the top defender in Dubai having 19 tackle points including two high 5s showing blockbuster arrival to the international scene. One thing is certain, total shivers down the opposition spine!
