3. Jeeva Kumar (U Mumba)
Trending
When owner Ronnie Screwvala and Anup Kumar combined to retain Jeeva Kumar, it was deemed as a master move that would ensure U Mumba had no defensive problems as the veteran was in the top ten raiders of Pro Kabaddi 3. However, as it turned out, Jeeva was far from his best in season four. Looking slow and sluggish, he became the target for oppostion raiders to win easy points whenever there was a pressure situation.
He had only 24 successful tackles this season and his coming short affected U Mumba’s results quite a lot. Having lost the likes of Fazel Atrachali, Vishal Mane, Surender Nada and Mohit Chillar, the onus was on Jeeva to lead the U Mumba defence. However, it was not to be as his footwork let him down and his performances put extreme pressure on U Mumba raiders.
