Ajay Thakur put behind a disappointing season in the Pro Kabaddi League to lead the Indian charge with much gusto

Ajay Thakur has made some bold strides wearing the Blue Indian jersey, being the first choice raider for the defending champions. He came into the tournament on the back of a poor run in Pro Kabaddi Season 4 but that did not dampen his spirits.

The fact that he has only been a part of the starting 7 since the last two matches, speaks a lot about the fact that he has virtually improved his performance with every passing match in order to impress his coaches and captain. With three consecutive Super 10’s to his name, he is on the leaderboard with an average of 6.8 successful raids in every clash, he has made himself an indispensable factor in the Indian squad’s run towards the title.

While the bonus points and running hand touches have been on display from his end, the viewers and fans of the tall, Himachali raider are yet to witness his signature frog jump, for maybe he is reserving the best for the last, the semi-finals and the finals!
