Surjeet was the most successful cover defender in Season 7 with 63 tackle points under his belt.

The ace defender will be all geared up for another season and should he be picked by the UP outfit, they will possess one of the best defenses across the teams.

#2 Rohit Gulia

The 23-year-old's been terrific in do-or-die situations and has one of the best running hand touches among the players. With UP Yoddha having decided to revamp their raiding side, Gulia might be a fine addition to UP Yoddha and they might just target him at PKL Auction 2021.

#1 Siddharth Desai

Siddharth Desai might fetch the highest bid at PKL Auction 2021.

Siddharth Sirish Desai announced his arrival in style when he made his debut for U Mumba in Season 6. He scored a Super 10 in his first game itself and set the stage on fire. Desai had an amazing campaign in the recently staged 68th Senior National Kabaddi Championship and will look to carry that form into the eighth edition of the Pro Kabbadi League.

His brute strength combined with his astute game-awareness make him a formidable force on the mat. The raider's career is just getting started and with a bright future ahead of him, UP Yoddha might go all out for the rising star from Maharashtra.
