Pro Kabaddi League 2017 Season 5: 5 player battles to watch out for in the Hyderabad leg

#5 Surender Nada (Haryana Steelers) vs Anup Kumar (U Mumba)

The last on this list but not certainly the least, the battle between the captains of the sides from Haryana and Mumbai will be one for the ages, especially because of the fact that it was under Anup's leadership at U Mumba that Surender Nada truly flourished as a premier defender and won the title in Season 2.

Now, he sees himself up against his former mentor and skipper while leading another set of talented players. His battle against Anup and U Mumba's enviable set of raiders will be one to watch out for and we will see whether the duo of Mohit Chhillar and Nada will be able to get one past the team that they gained prominence with.
