Pro Kabaddi League 2019: 3 players whose PKL career might be over

Pro Kabaddi League has been responsible for the growth of kabaddi in India. Apart from offering a new source of revenue for Kabaddi players across the country, PKL has also improved the standards of the Indian National Kabaddi Team. Pro Kabaddi League has become the bridge between India's traditional sport and the young citizens of the country.

The League is also growing at a good rate and the standards set by the teams are slowly rising. A few bad games could spell doom for a player as there are a lot of players in the bench who can replace him. Pro Kabaddi League is a big platform for Kabaddi players across the country and hence, there is a very small margin of error for these players.

Although experience does count in this game, there are a few teams who believe in giving youngsters more chances. This has reduced the game-time of some of the veterans of the game and hence, here are 3 of them who will miss the upcoming season because of the same reason. With the trend of the purchases made by the teams at the auction, it is also unlikely that they would play in the League again.

#3 Sachin Shingade

Sachin Shingade did not find a buyer in the recently-held auctions

The left-corner defender from Maharashtra was one of the few popular players who was left unsold in the auction. Sachin has so far represented Telugu Titans, Dabang Delhi, Patna Pirates and Haryana Steelers in the Pro Kabaddi League. Apart from being an important part of Delhi's defense in Season 4, the defender was also an influential part of the Patna Pirates squad which won the title in Season 5.

However, the defender's form was not great in the previous season which reduced his stakes in the recently-held auction. With a number of young defenders rising through the ranks at a good rate, it is unlikely that Sachin Shingade would find a buyer in the future.

#2 Kashiling Adake

The tall raider from Maharashtra is unlikely to play in PKL again

Kashiling Adake is one of the raiders who has been an integral part of the success of the Pro Kabaddi League in the last six seasons. The man from Maharashtra has represented Dabang Delhi for a major part of his PKL career apart from one-year stints at U Mumba and Bengaluru Bulls.

The tall raider has scored a number of points in the past but his form has not been great in the last few seasons. Last season, he was completely overshadowed by Pawan Sehrawat and Rohit Kumar in the raiding department although his contributions in a few games were very important.

With teams preferring to invest more in youth and giving them more chances, it is unlikely that any team would pick a player like Kashiling Adke who has been inconsistent in the last few seasons.

#1 Jasvir Singh

Jasvir Singh played for the Tamil Thalaivas last season

Jasvir Singh is one of the very few players who has been a part of the Pro Kabaddi League since its inception. The star raider was instrumental in the first season when his side Jaipur Pink Panthers emerged as the champions of the league. For the next few seasons too, Jasvir was the raiding main-stay for the squad from Jaipur.

Jasvir is an extremely intelligent raider who relies upon more than just his power and quick instincts to deliver for his squad. However, his form has not been great in the last few seasons which has seen him go down the pecking order.

Last season, he played for the Tamil Thalaivas along with Manjeet Chhillar and Ajay Thakur but was still not able to make an impact. Hence, he was released ahead of the auctions in which he failed to find a buyer for the upcoming season.

With teams going for youth and multi-dimensional players, Jasvir Singh's time as a PKL player might be over.
