Pro Kabaddi 2016, Season 4: 5 lesser known players who can shine in the tournament

4) Rohit Rana (Jaipur Pink Panthers)

Rohit Rana was one of the best players in Season 1

Rohit Rana has been a mainstay for Jaipur Pink Panthers right from the first season. Known for his prowess in the art of defending, Rana has made the left cover position his own, and raiders have had to fight tooth and nail to gain a point off him.

He was one of Jaipur’s most successful players in Season 1, finishing 3rd in the list of top defenders of the league with 37 successful tackles as Jaipur Pink Panthers lifted the title. Rana could not replicate his Season 1 performances in the second and third seasons and that reflected in the team's position in the table at the end of the two seasons where they finished 5th and 6th respectively.

The 28-year-old will be looking to replicate his Season 1 exploits ,this time around and become a household name, like his teammates Jasvir Singh and Rajesh Narwal. Being an integral part of the team and the rock of the Panthers' defence, much lies on his shoulders as Jaipur aim to make a return to the elite of the competition in Season 4.
