#2 Rohit Gulia - Gujarat Fortunegiants
After a fine start to the season, Gujarat Fortunegiants lost their way in the tournament with a couple of underwhelming performances on the mat. From the list of the very few players who impressed for the two-time finalists this season, young all-rounder Rohit Gulia leads the pack.
Rohit was mainly involved in picking up raid points for his team, with a few tackles coming good from him at times. Rohit was also given the responsibility to lead the team midway through the tournament, with Sachin Tanwar and Sunil Kumar unable to put in their best performances this season.
Rohit made a mark with his contributions as a lead raider in the side, and could be in for captaincy duties in the next season.
Total number of Points : 142
Raid Points: 132
Tackle Points: 10
#1 Deepak Niwas Hooda - Jaipur Pink Panthers
Yet again this season, Deepak Nawas Hooda proved why he is one of the best all-rounders going around in the game of kabaddi.
The Jaipur Pink Panthers captain led his team from the front with fine performances and finished as his team's best raider this season. Had Deepak received a little more support from the other raiders in the team, the Pink Panthers could have made it to the playoffs. Deepak also contributed with a few crucial tackles, thereby supporting Sandeep Dhull and Amit Hooda well in the defensive department.
Although he was handed a lot more of the raiding duties than needing to put in tackles, he did contribute whenever an opportunity presented itself for ankle holds or dashes, and he was yet again the Pink Panthers' crisis man this season.
Total number of Points : 158
Raid Points: 146
Tackle Points: 12
