Pro Kabaddi League Season 7: Detailed analysis of the Elite Retained Players' list

Haryana Steelers

Kuldeep Singh and Vikash Kandola

Haryana Steeler's management retained the young wonder Vikash Kandola & Kuldeep Singh. Kandola made a debut from Dabang Delhi and shifted to Haryana in season 5, showing some worth applauding skills.

He scored whopping 177 points in 22 matches, which made him one of the top raiders in the league last season. Kuldeep, the all-rounder, impressed everyone and had a not out percentage of 100.

Still, Monu Goyat, who grabbed the headlines for being the costliest man in season 6 auctions, who also scored an immense total of 164 points in just 20 matches, has not been retained by Steelers, which is indeed a shocker.

Jaipur Pink Panthers

Deepak Niwas Hooda and Sandeep Dhull

Jaipur's management made the ideal decision by reviving two of the greatest strengths of the team, i.e., Deepak Hooda and Sandeep Dhull.

Deepak, who single-handedly supported tattering Pink Panthers throughout the season managed to score 208 points in just 22 matches. He was the only player who tried to save his team by pushing himself and pitching in a Brobdingnagian amount of points.

Sandeep Dhull, or as called by commentator Sunil Taneja, "Ladka khele beautiful naam Sandeep Dhull", did a terrific job last season for the Panthers. These two players very well deserved a place back into the team.
