#5 Nilesh Shinde
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.
