Pro Kabaddi League 2017 Season 5: Top 5 defenders from Lucknow leg

#3 Sagar Krishna

The young man has a long way to go yet he can feel proud of his performance in the Lucknow leg

His team might not have had the best of the home legs and might have fallen behind in the league standings after a strong start but Sagar Krishna is surely enjoying his foray in Pro Kabaddi.

Despite lacking a commanding physique, Krishna still manages to generate enough power in his thigh and ankle holds. He almost won his team the game against Pink Panthers in what could have been a super tackle, which was disallowed by the referee.

That apart, Krishna has grown in confidence with every game and from being unknown quantity, has become the most important man in the Yoddha defence. Lack of support from Jeeva Kumar has hurt Yoddha and if Kumar can bring his A game back, these two can wreck havoc in any raiding department.

For now, though, it is Krishna who has shone as the team's lone bright spot in his team's dismal home campaign.
