Pro Kabaddi 2016 Season 4: 5 players who did not live up to expectations

2. Surender Nada (Bengaluru Bulls)

Surender Nada (L) could not replicate the form he showed with U Mumba last season

Another former U Mumba player, Surender was handed captaincy responsibilities by Bengaluru Bulls in Pro Kabaddi 2016 Season 4 but his leadership was substantially under par and nothing what his team expected from him. The left corner’s vintage ankle holds were rarely season seen this season and he managed only 29 successful tackles during the entire campaign.

Nada was expected to make a deadly combination with Mohit Chillar in defence but the latter was stranded several times, fighting a lone battle against opposition raiders. It is quite possible that undertaking the role of a leader put immense pressure on the twenty-nine-year-old. Stupendously talented, he was touted to hit peak form in season four but it turned out to be his worst till date. The reasons, best known to Nada himself, are of little importance now and Bengaluru Bulls can only hope he returns to his normal self next campaign.
