Pro Kabaddi League Season 6: 7 notable Indian players excluded in Elite Player retention

Vishal Bhardwaj (Telugu Titans)

The 21-year-old left corner defender was impressive in season five.

He was one of the few bright sparks in what was a disappointing campaign for the Titans.

Whenever Bhardwaj played well, the Titans performed well. He was 3rd in tackle points (71), 3rd in successful tackles (68) and 3rd in High 5s (5). Only Surender Nada and Surjeet Singh performed better as far as defenders were concerned in season 5.

He would have been a good young, foundational piece to build on for the Titans, but I guess they have other plans. Of course, they could still get him back in the draft.
