#3 Jang Kun Lee - South Korea

Captaining the South Koreans having taken over the mantle from regular skipper Dong Ju Hong, the talismanic raider was at his best right through the tournament, leading the way with some fine raids and kept South Korea in the hunt with his ability to pick points at regular intervals.

Traveling to both sides of the court at a lively pace, Lee brought all of his Pro Kabaddi League experience to the fore and exhibited his exciting mix of firm kicks, running hand touches and deft toe touches that unsettled the best of defenses in the tournament.

The talented Korean came into his own against Iran when he picked up a Super 10 but unfortunately could not see his team through. Against India, in the semifinals, Jang Kun Lee's raiding kept the pressure on the Indian team as he managed to pull off an early super raid to help Korea gain an early lead and kept chipping away with raid points which unfortunately went in vain.
