Pro Kabaddi League: 3 PKL Legends who are yet to win the trophy

Pro Kabaddi League is one tournament every Kabaddi player in India (and now worldwide) wants to be a part of. It is because this tournament has the potential to develop a player's game and if he does well, can help him earn him a call up to the National team too.

Apart from being helpful to the players, Pro Kabaddi League has also proved to be the bridge between the game and the audience. PKL has now got a number of followers across the country and abroad which has helped the sport grow at a good rate.

Ajay Thakur has been plying his trade in the Pro Kabaddi League since its inception but the star raider is yet to win the trophy. The captain of the Indian team has represented Bengaluru Bulls and Puneri Paltan in the past and is currently the captain of Tamil Thalaivas.

Any team would love to have a raider of such quality on their side and it is unfortunate that he is yet to go all the way in the tournament. He came very close to clinching it in the 2nd season when he lost the finals to U Mumba while playing for the Bengaluru Bulls.

Ajay Thakur does have a chance to end the drought as his franchise Tamil Thalaivas has forged a balanced side for the upcoming season.

#2 Rahul Chaudhari

The poster boy of PKL, Rahul Chaudhari is also a part of the list of legendary players who are yet to win the trophy. Despite topping the list of the points scored, Rahul Chaudhari has failed to take his side all the way. The man from UP has represented Telugu Titans in all the 6 seasons of the Pro Kabaddi League so far. The talisman will play for the Tamil Thalaivas in the upcoming edition.

Last season was disappointing for Rahul as he was not able to perform at the level expected of him in the last season. However, he has Ajay Thakur and Manjeet Chhillar by his side in the upcoming edition and this could help him get his first ever trophy.

#1 Manjeet Chhillar

Manjeet Chhillar has been an important player for the Indian team and the PKL franchises he has represented so far. The all-rounder has played for Bengaluru Bulls, Puneri Paltan, Jaipur Pink Panthers and Tamil Thalaivas in the past. He will continue his stint with the Tamil Thalaivas in the upcoming edition too.

Despite having such a big impact on the tournament, Manjeet has never won the trophy so far. He was the captain of the Bengaluru Bulls squad which reached the finals and lost to U Mumba in the 2nd season of the Pro Kabaddi League. However, he still has a chance to win the tournament as Manjeet is still 32 years old.
