#4 Ajay Thakur - Tamil Thalaivas

Ajay Thakur is also known as the ice-man of Pro Kabaddi

Ajay Thakur made a cracking debut in season 1 for the Bengaluru Bulls as he picked up 127 points from his first season and but slightly slacked off in season 2, with 80 points from 13 matches.

A skillful raider, Thakur has scored a total of 753 points in 102 matches. He joined the Puneri Paltan in the third season of PKL and played a good hand for the Paltan in three seasons before he made a shift to the Tamil Thalaivas for PKL 5.

Thakur has represented India at the 2016 Kabaddi World Cup, Kabaddi Masters Dubai, and the 2018 Asian Games. Although the Thalaivas failed to qualify into the playoffs for season 5 and season 6, on an individual note, he picked up 222 points from 22 matches in season 5 and 204 points from season 6 to stamp his authority as one of the best raiders in the league.

With Thakur set to partner Rahul Chaudhari in PKL 7, one can expect the Thalaivas skipper to have a good season yet again.
