The 3rd season of Star Sports Pro Kabaddi League has already finished one action-packed leg. After a slow start, Dabang Delhi are ready to show that they are here to contend for the crown of champions. The team from Delhi play the most flamboyant brand of Kabaddi in the league and will look to translate that into a title win this season.
We take a look at 5 of their players who will be crucial to their title challenge this season:
1. Ravinder Pahal
The captain of Dabang Delhi, Pahal completed 53 successful tackles last season, and averages 5 successful tackles a match, and has scored 89 defence points in the last two seasons, a remarkable number. His presence in defence is a major boost to the team.
2. Kashiling Adake
The tall raider proved himself to be the best raider in the league last season, scoring 114 points, including a record 24 points in one match, something that had never been achieved before. He will be crucial to their hopes this season, having already scored 20 points in the two matches.
3. Rohit Kumar Choudhary
He formed a great attacking partnership with Kashiling Adake, and helped Delhi forge a reputation for being the most attacking team in the league. Playing his supporting role to perfection, he scored a total of 61 raid points so far and the team will be expecting much more from him this season.
4. Rajaguru Subramanian
The addition of Rajaguru Subramanian to the Delhi defence will help give Pahal some much-needed support and help relieve his burden. Known to be a good organiser, Rajaguru was an important part of the Telugu defence last season, and will add a lot of value to the Dabang Delhi franchise. He will look to put the team's slow start behind them and tighten up defensively.
5. Wazir Singh
The former skipper of the Puneri Paltan joined Dabang Delhi in the off-season and adds a great deal of variety and versatility to their raiding. With a total of 169 raiding points in his 26 matches so far before this season, he has what is needed to be the X-factor for the Delhi outfit.
