Pro Kabaddi League 2017 Season 5: Top 5 defenders from Ahmedabad leg

#4 Amit Hooda

Amit Hooda finally came into his own for the Tamil Thalaivas

At the beginning of Season 5, the 21-year-old Amit Hooda found himself with a huge responsibility on his shoulders, that of leading the young Tamil Thalaivas defence. Despite being one of the youngest in the teams, Hooda had some much vaunted Pro Kabaddi experience under his belt which convinced the management of his role in the team.

One has to see him in action for the new franchise to understand how much he has grown as a player with the responsibility. Hooda began with a few nerves initially to start the season but as it hit the Ahmedabad leg, he has picked his game up. And the results are in front of everyone to see.

He shone brightly in both the matches in the Ahmedabad leg and earned a well deserved 10 points for himself with his tackles.
