Pro Kabaddi League 2017 Season 5: 5 Pirates from Patna opponents must be wary of

#4 Sachin Shingade

Shingade made quite a reputation for hunting in pair with Mane during his U Mumba days

To be a part of a team like Dabang Delhi can take a toll on a kabaddi player of any pedigree. It comes as no surprise that Sachin Shingade looked a pale shadow of himself when he made the switch from U Mumba to Dabang Delhi. For U Mumba, he was as good a defender as any on show in the league. For Delhi, the same player failed to impress.

For Shingade, a move to a winning unit like Patna and, more importantly, a reunion with his old partner in crime Vishal Mane augurs well. There's little doubt about his abilities and it was often put on display during his time with Delhi franchise, even if for brief periods. But no support from other departments only made all that brilliance a mere footnote in another abject surrender by his team. With Patna, Shingade can be assured of not finding himself in a similar situation too often.
