India will go into the competition as favourites with the likes of Ajay Thakur, Rahul Chaudhari, Pardeep Narwal in the ranks to complement the defence led by Surender Nada, Manjeet Chhillar, and Sandeep Narwal, Pakistan has enjoyed resounding success in the past and can pose a stiff challenge to the competition favourites.

Led by veteran all-rounder Nasir Ali, Pakistan will step on the mat with an exciting mix of young players and experienced hands, who will be fresh from their exploits in the Super Kabaddi League, the first ever professional-level Kabaddi league in Pakistan through a team which will include the likes of Kashif Razzaq, Waqar Ali amongst others who enjoyed a good run in the tournament.

Through Wasim Sajjad, the only Pakistan player to have played a game in the Pro Kabaddi League, Pakistan will hope to get an upper hand over the star-studded Indian team, which could prove to be quite a major headache to pick the best in order to form the starting seven.
