#2 Rakesh Kumar
Rakesh Kumar's Pro Kabaddi career does not do justice to the caliber he has had over the years of serving Indian Kabaddi. The former Indian skipper was the most expensive player signed in the inaugural season, when he was signed for ₹12.8 lakhs by the Patna Pirates.

Rakesh changed the face of Kabaddi single-handedly as an experienced all-rounder, winning most matches for India on his own. The Arjuna awardee was a vital part of the Indian Kabaddi team that won the Kabaddi World Cup (2004, 2007), and clinched gold medals in the Asian Games (2006, 2010, 2014) and South Asian Games (2006, 2010). He has represented Indian Railways for many years in the Senior National Kabaddi Championships.
Rakesh scored 186 raid points and 74 tackle points while representing the Patna Pirates, U Mumba, and Telugu Titans in different seasons till season 5. He was signed as the head coach of the Haryana Steelers in the seventh season, a season in which he took the team to the playoffs.
