Nitin Tomar is just 21 years old, which makes him one of the youngest players in the tournament. He is an immensely talented player and a rising star for India in the sport of kabaddi, as he showed with his former team, Bengal Warriors.

Tomar is an all-rounder who played for Bengal Warriors and was one of the main reasons for their maiden semi-final appearance in the third season. He played 10 matches in Season 3, but scored 81 points, out of which 77 came in raids. Despite an injury-wrecked season, the Services player finished 6th in the list of the top raiders while he also made 11 tackles for his team.

Puneri Paltan's ambitions to go one step further and win the coveted title got a huge boost with the signing of Nitin ahead of Season 4. Now, it is up to him to help them on their path by emerging from the shadows and making a name for himself.
