Shrikant Jadhav emerged as the surprise top performer from the U.P. Yoddha team which consisted of Monu Goyat, Rishank Devadiga, Nitesh Kumar and Mohsen Maghsoudlou. The former U Mumba raider scored 152 points in Pro Kabaddi 2019 and played a crucial role in U.P. Yoddha's journey to the playoffs.
His successful raid percentage of 50.34% shows how much he has worked on his game. Jadhav scored 3 Super 10s and executed 2 Super Raids to finish with 148 raid points in the tournament. He had a wonderful average of 6.72 raid points/match this season. Even in the defensive unit, he chipped in with 4 tackle points at a strike rate of 33.33%.
Though Jadhav has been a part of Pro Kabaddi since Season 2, he has never been able to generate an impact as he did in Season 7. U.P. Yoddha were struggling in the initial part of this season, however, the former Bengal Warriors player, Jadhav took charge and guided his team to a third-place finish with the support of Nitesh Kumar and Sumit.
