#1 Nitin Tomar
He might be talented and have age on his side, but he’s just been around for two seasons in Pro Kabaddi. More importantly, will he be able to justify the Rs. 93 lakhs that Team Uttar Pradesh have spent on him?
Tomar is a player who can only flourish under the guidance of an experienced campaigner, and on many occasions, he has been overshadowed by fellow raiders Ajay Thakur and Pardeep Narwal, especially at the World Cup last year.
Additionally, he had a few injury concerns last season and if the same should surface this time around, the team will find itself in deep trouble. Will the young gun be able to shoulder the responsibility of being the most valuable player on his team? It remains to be seen how he goes about the task.
