One of the finds of the Pro Kabaddi League has been raider Rishank Devadiga, who has improved with every passing campaign. Under the tutelage of veterans Anup Kumar and Rakesh Kumar, he has developed into the complete package in the U Mumba side.
Last season was the worst for the season two champions as they failed to qualify for the semifinals and while retaining Anup Kumar is understandable, they could have chosen to count on their fresh blood and build a youthful side.
Anup has tons of experience under his belt but was quite underwhelming last season. The Mumbai side could have decided to revamp and enter the new season with a fresh approach, led by Rishank, who took over the raiding reins from his seniors towards the end of season four.
