All Rounders

Sandeep Narwal and Deepak Hooda are expected to play for covers

• Deepak Niwas Hooda

• Sandeep Narwal

The selection committee has picked two all-time greats of Pro Kabaddi League who'll be playing the covers positions at the Jakarta Asian Games.

Excluding the all-time experience of Manjeet Chhillar, Deepak Hooda will take the charge on the left cover. He doesn't defend usually but the frontal block over Mohammad Nabibaksh at the Dubai Kabaddi Masters finals was something special. The team will look to use Deepak's defending capability which isn't a sight viewed often.

Sandeep Narwal, who is a versatile player, is going to take the right cover position. It is going to be a marvellous view of seeing the beast dashing the opposition raiders like a truck.

The roles of all-rounders are different from what they normally do on the mat. But this innovative thinking can possibly bring India their gold.
