#4 Anup Kumar was just four points away to score 600 total points

A selfless act followed after an emotional retirement as fans expected to witness Anup Kumar for one final time on the mat. Anup Kumar was just 4 points away to become only the seventh player to have 600 total points. However, his retirement came in on his son's birthday as he opted not to play a farewell match.

Anup had been struggling with his form in the first half of group stages because of which he decided to give other players a chance in the team. In Season 6, Anup Kumar scored only 38 raid points and 12 tackle points in 13 matches which led him and the management staff to make Deepak Niwas Hooda, the new captain of Jaipur Pink Panthers.

Anup Kumar at the end of Season 6 stands at the 7th position of total points with 596 points which consist of 527 raid points along with thirteen Super 10s.
