Shrikant Jadhav started off as a do or die specialist in the initial stages of his Pro Kabaddi venture. He has represented Jaipur Pink Panthers (Season 2), Bengal Warriors (Season 3 and 4), and U Mumba (Season 5) in the earlier editions of PKL.

Shrikant Jadhav's breakout season was the fifth edition when he was under the guidance of Anup Kumar.

He became the team's go-to man in crucial situations and helped in building the offence of U Mumba with 86 raid points in 19 matches.

Shrikant joined UP Yoddha in season 6 where he established himself as a lead raider on his own. He went on to score 141 raid points in 25 matches at an average of 5.64 raid points.

Because of his height, Shrikant Jadhav has a decent reach to the midline and can execute running hand touches and kicks to the corner defense. He can also steal bonus points swiftly from beneath the opposition.

Shrikant Jadhav will be the man to watch out for in the upcoming edition of the tournament.
