A lot of experienced campaigners could hope to fetch a contract in the eighth season.

#2 Mahendra Ganesh Rajput

Mahendra Ganesh Rajput had played an important role in taking Gujarat Fortune Giants to the final of Season 6.

A reliable raider with his extensive reach towards the midline, Mahendra Ganesh Rajput has played for the Bengal Warriors and Gujarat Fortune Giants in the first six seasons of the league. Tagged as a do-or-die specialist, Rajput is known for turning around and saving all-outs in critical situations of the matches.

This lanky raider from Maharashtra has scored 180 raid points in his overall Pro Kabaddi career. Rajput has proven his mettle with his running hand touches and escapes, which makes it difficult for any defensive unit. Mahendra had a brilliant campaign for the Maharashtra Police kabaddi team, having led the side to win the Shivneri Seva Mandal Kabaddi tournament in late 2019.

Mahendra Rajput couldn't earn a contract in the seventh season after failing to remain fit for the league. However, many franchises could engage in a bidding war to sign him as a formidable support raider for their side in the upcoming eighth edition.
