Vikash Kandola has been a consistent performer for Haryana Steelers as their leading raid points scorer in the Pro Kabaddi. A promising raider with his varied skill set, Kandola has featured in the Top 10 raiders list of season 6 and season 7.

His ability to raid against a fully stacked defensive unit and score crucial bonus points has made him one of the trickiest raiders in the league. Vikas is an agile player who uses running hand touches and escapes with precision.

With 423 raid points in 55 matches, Vikash has 17 Super-10s in the league at an average of 7.69 raid points per game. Vikash was also the part of the Indian Railways team that won the gold medal at 66th Senior Nationals and 2019 Federation Cup.

Vikash Kandola could be a perfect fit, whether it be leading from the front or playing as a support raider. His versatility in the offense can prove to be vital in the Indian Kabaddi team, and deserves a call-up to the squad for South Asian Games 2019.
