Top 5 Pro Kabaddi League players who are as good in defense as in attack

1) Manjeet Chhillar (Puneri Paltan)

Manjeet Chhillar, the captain of Puneri Paltans is arguably the best all-rounder in PKL history. The experienced campaigner was retained by Pune for season 4, after having a stellar season three. He had previously played for Bengaluru Bulls in the first two seasons, and was awarded the best defender of PKL Season 1 and the MVP of PKL Season 2.

He has 170 successful raids and 171 successful tackles to his name in his PKL career, which proves his phenomenal skills in both departments of the game. He had a dream run last season, as he scored a record 61 tackle points and 45 raid points.

He is in great form this season as well, leading from the front and inspiring his team to win some crucial matches. Pune lie third in the table with 30 points in 10 matches and look well on course to qualify for the semi-finals.

Chhillar has used his quick reflexes and agility to score 20 raid points for his team so far. Playing as the left cover for his team, he uses the dash and block as his weapons to stop raiders from scoring points.

He comfortably occupies the left cover, right cover and center positions as well due to his versatility. He has turned out to be one of the best defenders for the Paltan this season, with 25 successful tackles, which puts him eighth in the list of top defenders.
