Asian Kabaddi Championships 2017: 5 biggest talking points from India's title victory

#4 India's right corner conundrum

Is Mohit Chhillar's (R) spot on the right corner in trouble?

With Surender Nada an undisputed starter for India on the left corner, the question of who should be his partner-in-crime on the right is a difficult choice. His partnership with Mohit Chhillar is certainly an iconic one but in the two crucial encounters against Pakistan, it was Sandeep Narwal who was given the nod.

Chhillar wasn't at his best in PKL 5 but given his almost telepathic understanding with Nada, he was expected to start for India. But Narwal is another world-class right corner and can also help out in the raiding department, which is why he was drafted in for the final, which left Chhilllar on the bench. The Indian coach was certainly spoilt for choice in this regard but in the end, playing Narwal in place of Chhillar proved to be a right call.
