Pawan Sehrawat in Pro Kabaddi Auction 2022: Anup Kumar names 3 teams that could buy the star raider

Former Indian kabaddi team captain Anup Kumar believes Pawan Sehrawat will be the most sought-after player at the upcoming Pro Kabaddi (PKL) Auction 2022. In Anup's view, the teams that have not won the trophy will go hard for him.

Speaking on Star Sports show, Total KBD - Auction Special, Anup Kumar said that teams like Telugu Titans, UP Yoddha and Tamil Thalaivas will bid big for Pawan Sehrawat because he can help them win their first PKL trophy.

“I think a team that has not won the PKL so far will try their best to bid for Pawan Kumar Sehrawat. I feel teams such as Telugu Titans, Tamil Thalaivas and UP Yoddha will be looking to sign him as he can be their best chance at winning the trophy," said Anup Kumar.

Sehrawat was a part of the Bengaluru Bulls squad last season. He was the team's captain, but surprisingly, the Bulls let go of him even though he was the best raider in Season 8 of Pro Kabaddi.

During the same discussion on Star Sports, Anup Kumar further stated that the Bengaluru Bulls will try their best to sign Pawan again.

“Even though Bengaluru Bulls have released Pawan, they will try their best to get him back on the team in this year’s auction. I think whichever team Pawan plays for should have an efficient captain who is able to utilise him effectively," said Anup Kumar.

The former Indian kabaddi team captain also insisted that Pawan should not take up the captain's role but instead focus on his natural game this season.
