#3 Prashant Kumar Rai's promising raiding skillset

Prashanth Kumar Rai has played in all the seasons of the Pro Kabaddi League starting out with the Telugu Titans in the first season of the league. He made hay of the rare chances thrown his way and impressed whenever he stepped on the mat. After three seasons with the Titans, he played for the Dabang Delhi KC side but was used very sparingly by the team.
Rai's breakout moment came last season when he was signed by the new franchise Haryana Steelers. Along with Wazir Singh, Rai took up the responsibility of the raiding unit and was a key component of their squad last season. He ended up scoring 78 raid points in sixteen matches for the franchise last season on their way to the playoff qualification. He scored three Super Raids and three Super 10s which were the most for any player on the roster.
Rai was signed by UP Yoddha for a massive price of Rs. 79 Lakhs which further emphasizes his importance for the side and their faith in him for the upcoming season.
