Deepak Niwas Hooda will lead the team up front as the team's lead raider.

Deepak Niwas Hooda has established himself as one of the best all-rounders in Pro Kabaddi today. He has represented the Telugu Titans (seasons 1 and 2) and Puneri Paltan (Season 3, 4, and 5) in the past editions before finally joining the Jaipur Pink Panthers for season 6.

With every passing year, Hooda has improved his game and is 3rd in the list of most total points in the history of Pro Kabaddi. Hooda has 710 raid points in 103 matches at an average of 6.89 raid points. He also has 75 tackle points to his name with 4 High 5s.

One of the fittest players in the game, Hooda is a left raider who can play as a left cover defender at times. He loves to execute running hand touches and has a decent backtracking ability that allows him to escape the mightiest of defense units.
