raiders

in the tournament

Captaining the squad in only his second major tournament of his glittering career, Ajay Thakur not only finished as the top raider of the tournament but also led India to the title of the Kabaddi Masters 2018.

The only constant presence in the squad for all of India's matches, Ajay Thakur led the way with his supreme raids and the ease with which he picked up points rubbed off on the rest of his teammates as India shrugged off every opponent that came their way.

Ajay Thakur's nine points in the final encounter against Iran highlighted his purple patch in the tournament to add to his 'Super 10' against Korea and seven raid points against Pakistan in India's third group stage game the highlights of his magnificent campaign.

Gifted with a magnificent reach and a tall frame, Ajay made optimum use of his tremendous reach to accumulate points and finished as probably India's best player from the tournament with his vital tackles too holding India in good stead throughout.
