The South Korean superstar, Jang Kun Lee had made a name for himself by playing with supreme consistency for Bengal Warriors in PKL. After a lengthy stay at the Bengal camp, Lee finally switched to Patna Pirates in PKL 2019. However, he could not live up to the expectations.

Though he had the back of Pardeep Narwal in the raiding department, the Korean raider could pick up only 60 raid points in 16 games, much to the dismay of the Patna fans. The team management must have definitely expected him to perform much better than that.


#1 Sachin Tanwar, Gujarat Fortune Giants

Matches - 16, Raid Points - 84, Average Raid Points/Match - 5.25

Sachin Tanwar was billed by many to be the next big thing in the Pro Kabaddi League. The Rajasthan-based raider had led the raiding unit of the Gujarat Fortune Giants in the previous two seasons and on the virtue of his performances, the team had reached the final on both the occasions.

But, this year, the story was different for Sachin Tanwar. He could only score 84 raid points in 16 matches at a below par average of 5.25 raid points. While these are good numbers for a secondary raider, the teams expect their top raider to score at an average of at least 8 or 9 points.

He could score a mere 2 Super 10s and execute only a solitary Super Raid in the season as Gujarat Fortune Giants bid farewell to PKL 2019 in the league round itself.
