Pro Kabaddi League 2017 Season 5: 5 best bargain buys so far

#2 Vikas Kandola (Haryana Steelers) - Rs 15.2 lakh

The second-last name on this list is the youngster Vikas Kandola, who has been nothing short of a revelation for the Haryana Steelers. In an attack boasting of names such as Surjeet Singh, Wazir Singh and Deepak Dahiya, it is the 19-year-old who has caught the eye and has been his side's chief point-getter.

He may be sidelined due to injury, but in the seven matches he has played, the youngster has amassed a whopping 44 raid points, with just 23 of 107 raids being unsuccessful. His pace and flexibility on the mat have been truly electric and he has left some of the best defenders in the league in his wake.

The Steelers will be wanting him to return as soon as possible!
