Pro Kabaddi 2016 Season 4: 5 stars from the first half of the tournament

4) Rajesh Narwal

Narwal with his no-nonsense game has stepped up on days when Jasvir Singh has failed

It can’t be denied that the Jaipur Pink Panthers have given the most exciting contests of the 4th edition, but the fact that they have come on top in 4 out of those 7 contests has to be attributed to Rajesh Narwal’s superlative performance. Although the team has revolved around Jasvir Singh’s heroics, Rajesh Narwal has quietly done the good work for his team. He easily qualifies as one of the best all-rounders in this season and stats tell that story.

He has made more successful raids than Jasvir Singh with 26 raids and has 12 tackles, the second highest for the team after Amit Hooda. But the contribution that Narwal makes with his calm on the mat is something that can’t be quantified but is extremely essential for the team, especially for its penchant to find itself in challenging situations.

His 16 points helped Jaipur rack up the jaw-dropping score of 51 against Dabang Delhi and win by a margin of 25 points
