#5 Adieu, Navneet Gautam!
Navneet Gautam had given his heart and soul to the sport of kabaddi for nearly two decades. The defender’s glittering career saw him win multiple gold medals in the Asian Games, the Asian Indoor Games and the World Cup. He led the Jaipur Pink Panthers to their only title in the first season of the Pro Kabaddi League.
The man, who dedicated himself selflessly to the sport, played his final professional kabaddi match on Thursday. It was probably not the way he would have liked to bow out. He could not contribute any point nor could his team win and he was even shown a green card. But that does not take anything away from the man, who has been one of the stalwarts of Indian kabaddi for many years now.
