#3 Nitin Tomar

Nitin Tomar has always been a threat for opposition defenders and has the ability to do anything on a Kabaddi mat. He is a superb raider, and he also adds to the team as a handy defender. The former Bengal Warriors' player held the record of being the most expensive record before Monu Goyat smashed it. He had 100 points from 11 games last season at an average of 9.09 points.

Teams that will want him: UP Yoddha, U Mumba, Tamil Thalaivas

#2 Siddharth Sirish Desai

The youngster came into last season as an unknown commodity and left the season as a star raider. Siddharth Desai wreaked havoc last season and stormed his way to the top 3 raiders' list. He pushed U Mumba into the playoffs and delivered for them at all stages of a game. He had 218 points in 21 games at a stunning average of 10.03 points, and releasing him could prove to be a costly error by the franchise.

Teams that will want him: Telugu Titans, Gujarat Fortune Giants, Puneri Paltan

#1 Rahul Chaudhari

Rahul Chaudhari is known as the poster boy of Pro Kabaddi and has been there since the beginning. He is 2nd on the list of most successful raiders and was on top of it for a very long time before Pardeep Narwal overtook him. He had 159 raid points in 21 games last season at an average of 7.57 points. Although he has shown the tendency to wilt under pressure, it is because of the fact that he has never had someone to calm him down and support him. If he can have a couple of experienced players with him, he can reach his full potential.

Teams that will want him: Puneri Paltan, Dabang Delhi, Jaipur Pink Panthers
