Pro Kabaddi League Season 5: 5 players Bengal Warriors will pin their hopes on

#2 Surjeet Singh

Surjeet Singh had a good season 3 with Puneri Paltan

A couple of Surjeet Singhs plying their trade in the Pro Kabaddi League have often confused people but no raider who has been blocked by the defender Surjeet Singh can make that mistake. With a big strong body, Surjeet has the pre requisite covered well for a Kabaddi defender but what makes him a better defender than most of his size is his swiftness across the mat.

Surjeet is a versatile raider as well and can position himself according to team's needs. In the past, he has played both as right cover as well as left cover. Surjeet had a brilliant season with Puneri Paltan where he collected 48 tackle points including five High 5s. The form tapered off, however, with the change of club when he turned up for U Mumba in the fourth season. In fact, much of U Mumba's misery in the tournament was because from their weak defence.

Singh in the role of a captain of the beleaguered Warriors side will look to rise back to his best in the fifth edition of the league.
