Pro Kabaddi League Season 5: 5 Dabangs from Delhi to watch out for

Dabang Delhi
Can the new look unit exorcise the ghosts of the last season?

#5 Nilesh Shinde

Nilesh Shinde
Playing his fifth season, 36 year old Shinde is proving age is nothing but just a number for him

Nilesh Shinde and Kabaddi together might look at antithetical but they definitely aren't. Shinde is one of the oldest in the league and comes with a double chin and a paunch. But once he is on the mat, he is as effective as someone half his age.

A calm and composed customer famous in the league for his super tackles, Shinde will feel relieved to not be bearing the burden of captaincy this year, although there is a chance that on account of his massive experience, he will be the second in command to the Iranian Meraj Sheykh.

Besides, the fans will be licking their lips in anticipation to see a reunion of Shinde with Bajirao Hodage, a pair that propelled even the Bengal Warriors to the playoffs in the season 4.
