1.Depaak Niwas Hooda:

His rise has been nothing short of meteoric

Deepak Nivas Hooda first came into limelight when he won the gold at 2014 Senior National Kabaddi Championship held in Patna.

Playing for Haryana, he bagged all the headlines due to his all-around abilities. He was bought by Telugu Titans in the first auction of PKL for 12.5 lakhs.

Even after an above average performance in the first two seasons, he could still never make a mark for himself as he always played under the shadow of Rahul Chaudhari.

He moved to Puneri Paltans in season three and, this is where he proved his mettle as an all-rounder.

His rise in PKL has been nothing short of meteoric. In season three onwards he has been the leading figure in mostly all score charts.

He has also shown a capability to cope under pressure leading the 'do or die raid points' in season 5.

Though his raiding heroics pushed his defence on the back seat, still he has proven his ability to defend time and again.

With 577 raid points and 70 tackle points, he is miles ahead of his nearest competitor. His signature move is running hand touch.
