Asian Kabaddi Championships 2017: 5 big names who are missing from India's team

#2 Manjeet Chhillar

The veteran's exclusion does not come as a surprise since the all-rounder deemed himself unfit for selection, hinting that he required surgery after picking up an injury while representing the Jaipur Pink Panthers in season five of the Pro Kabaddi League.

However, Manjeet's absence will be a huge blow to the team as his experience and reading of crucial situations would have proven useful. Putting in colossal blocks and allowing no escape routes with his strong holds, Manjeet's presence on the mat has often been the X-factor for every team he has represented in the PKL and for India as well.
