Asian Games 2018: Predicting Iran's starting seven for the tournament

Center: Mohammad Esmael Maghsoudloo

Mohammad Esmael has a prolonged history with Iranian Kabaddi team.

Deeply rooted with a lot of experience in his bag, Mohammad Magsoudloo has certainly left a lot of lasting memories in the minds of Kabaddi lovers. He was the only experienced raider in the Iran team 'B' of Dubai Kabaddi Masters 2018.

He is known to raise the quality of his game during high-pressure situations. A perfectionist who loves to produce good escapes snatched a super 10 against big match players of South Korea and haunted their defense. His contributions were immense which led Iran to position themselves as runners-up and also has defending arsenal in his backup.

He had scored a high 5 in the same match as a raider surprisingly versus South Korea that showed he can defend against quick long legged raiders as well. He will be the key raider to lead Iran and probably look to grab a gold medal for the first time.
