#4 Sukesh Hegde (Fortune Giants Gujarat)
Sukesh may now be basking in the glory that Pro Kabaddi has brought forth but a look at his journey and one will realise he has tread a long course to be at the stage where he is perched today.
Poor academic results triggered more kabaddi practice in the formative years, which eventually led him to the All India Inter-Universities competition during the first year of his college education.

The son a driver, Sukesh wanted to make it big in the sport and akin to other struggling athletes, he moved from his small town in Mangalore to the city of Bengaluru when Vijaya Bank offered him a job to build on his dreams.
Subsequently, Telugu Titans came knocking and a long, glitzy professional career opportunity lay ahead of young man which he grabbed with both hands. Today, he has switched to the Gujarat side post the auctions and will lead the team as captain in the upcoming season.
