2) Sandeep Narwal (Telugu Titans)
Sandeep Narwal has been a consistent performer over the course of Pro Kabaddi League and has impressed everyone with his all-round capabilities. He has the distinction of being one of the very few players to have amassed 100 points in both defence and attack.
He uses his agility to jump over the oppositions’ chains, and uses his presence of mind to keep the defenders guessing about his moves when he raids. He takes full advantage of his blocks and body holds to make sure raiders don’t score points at will, and makes raiding very challenging for the opposition.
He played an integral role in Patna Pirates’ triumph in Season 3, where he earned the award of best defender after collecting 55 tackle points and 30 assists for the Pirates. He has been one of the strongholds in the defensive line up of Telugu Titans this season, and has helped out his team in dire situations by using his phenomenal skills.
Sandeep has scored 24 successful tackle points this season which gives him the 9th spot in the list of top defenders and has ensured raiders have to think twice before their raid attempts against the Titans.
