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

U Mumba

Fazel Atrachali, Rajaguru Subramanian, and Arjun Deshwal

Fazel Atrachali, Rajaguru Subramanian and Arjun Deshwal have been retained by Ronnie Screwvala's U Mumba. Bringing Fazel back was a witty decision as this man has the ability to destroy the raiders with his wondrous ankle holds, dashes and blocks.

Players like Siddharth Desai, the best find of PKL so far, who scored a crazy total of 221 points in his debut league, Rohit Baliyan, Vinod Kumar, R. Sriram, Surender Singh, and Abhishek did not get retained.

This might be backstabbing for Mumbai's franchise. Nonetheless, auctions are yet to take place.

UP Yoddhas:

Amit and Sachin Kumar

UP Yoddhas, who turned tables despite having a completely young team, have revived Amit and Sachin for the seventh season.

Honestly, the retention would have been better for them if they had chosen supreme players like Rishank Devadiga, Prashanth Kumar Rai, Shrikant Jadhav, and last season's best defender Nitesh Kumar, with 101 points in his bag.

They had a whole lot of brilliant players in the team, but it is a mystery as to why they chose not to bring back any of them. Maybe the team management and coach are plotting some strategy for season 7's auctions.
