Left In: Sukesh Hegde

Sukesh Hegde ranks 12th in the total raid points tally and has 10 super raids up his name.

If you've observed Sukesh Hegde's gameplay, he has evolved into becoming a lead raider on his own recently. Earlier this year, Sukesh led his team to the semifinals of Senior National Championship 2017-18 and became an independent pressure-free raider.

Sukesh can execute some hand touches pretty well on the mat and has good backtracking abilities that allow him to escape firmly.

He loves to target the covers especially the right covers and can also use kicks as well to grab a touch point.

Hegde has 284 raid points in 67 matches averaging 4.24 raid points per match. Possessing leadership qualities, Sukesh will establish himself as a free-minded raider and will assist Ajay throughout the upcoming season.
