Pro Kabaddi League 2017 Season 5: 5 UP Yoddhas to watch out for

Despite a frugal stint with Puneri Paltan, the UP franchise broke the bank to have Nitin Tomar’s services for their debut season
 

#5 Mahesh Goud – Raider

Mahesh Goud
Despite being a part of the winning team in the last season, Mahesh Goud didn’t get to play a big role

Mahesh Goud was brought from Bengal to Patna in the last season of Pro Kabaddi League. However, too many big names around him meant that Goud had to play second fiddle to most of them in the limited opportunities that he received.

That’s why a move from Patna Pirates to UP Yoddhas can pretty well prove to be the blessing in disguise Goud’s Pro Kabaddi career needed. As mentioned above, the UP Yoddhas squad boasts of a unique composition where few big names dominate while a lot of younger names form the rest of the team.

In such a composition, he would seek his window of opportunity as he would look forward to play a more pivotal role as a part of the UP setup than he could at Patna. Moreover, a newer format and a longer season means there are greater chances of seeing Goud in action than seeing him warming the bench.

And Bengal Warriors fan would testify that a fit Goud in action can be a huge threat to any opposition.
