Pro Kabaddi 2017 Dream Teams: India's best 7 vs Foreigners' best 7

India's top 7

Manjeet Chhillar (Center) would be the ideal skipper given his experience

Defenders: Amit Hooda (right corner), Surjeet Singh (right cover), Manjeet Chhillar (left cover) (C), Surender Nada (right corner)

Raiders: Pardeep Narwal, Rohit Kumar, Ajay Thakur.

The Indian contingent saw some of the biggest names coming good and what was good to see was that in the top point-getters bracket, almost all of them were captains of their respective sides which shows how much they enjoyed taking up the responsibility.

Pardeep Narwal continued his supremacy and by thundering through the opposition defence, the 20-year-old led Patna to victory and also recorded 369 points to his name, a record in the Pro Kabaddi League. The youngster showed excellent skills as he registered 18 super raids, highlighting his class and asserting his dominance this season.

Supporting his cause would be Bulls' skipper Rohit Kumar, who sweat very hard to accumulate points in a heap for his team but unfortunately, did not have a lot of support. However, his calm and mature raiding saw him end the season with 231 points while he also earned a lot of accolades for his timely tackles as well.

Thalaivas' skipper Ajay Thakur too brought all his experience into play and used his height to good effect, often getting the better of his opposition defenders with a hefty touch or an agile toe touch and will be fondly remembered for his outstanding raiding against the Gujarat Fortunegiants that helped the Thalaivas snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

On the defence front, Surender Nada played like a man on a mission and often covered up for the flaws of Mohit Chhillar, who did not have the best of seasons. Guarding the left corner, Nada fearlessly went in with the tackles and his dashes proved too hot to handle. He finished the season as the top defender with 80 points from 21 matches.

Amit Hooda, the left corner from the Thalaivas continued from where he left off last season and enjoyed yet another good season, leading a young brigade of defenders and collected 61 points from 22 games to rightfully take up the right corner's position in the dream team.

One of the biggest success stories of Bengal Warriors' good run this season has to be attributed to skipper Surjeet Singh, who not only led the squad fabulously well, he also made life difficult for the raiders with his colossal blocks and strong dashes.

Always on his toes on the lookout for a tackle, Girish Maruti Ernak played mind games with the raiders that came to good use as he often induced errors from them and pounced on them with either a double thigh hold or back hold from which there was no getaway. In the company of Sandeep Narwal and Dharmaraj Cheralathan, he made raiding look arduous and collected 69 points from 21 matches.
