#3: Rishank Devadiga (UP Yoddha)
Rishank's brilliance came forth in the eliminator against Puneri Paltan on Monday night. In the 6th minute of the match, Rishank went in to raid with Nitin Tomar out on the bench and just three men manning the defence for Pune. He traversed the distance of the court initially offering himself as a bait to the defenders, which they eventually did fall for with Akshay Jadhav going in for a double ankle hold. But, the raider, ready in mind and matter plunged backwards towards the midline and put his hand over the line despite Girish Ernak and Monu trying their best to restrict him, thus giving away 5 points.
