#8 Bajirao Hodage

One of the two defensive pillars in the Bengal Warriors outfit in the previous couple of seasons, Bajirao Hodage is one of the premier defenders in the Pro Kabaddi League.

From 43 matches, Bajirao has 86 tackle points and has often combined with Nilesh Shinde to produce tackles on the raiders. In the absence of Shinde, he also took up the responsibility a couple of times, highlighting his importance in the team.

Bajirao will make a move to Dabangg Delhi KC for season 5, a welcome move which could see a rise in Delhi's fortunes.
