Pro Kabaddi League 2017 Season 5: U Mumba's predicted starting lineup

Anup Kumar
Unless calamity ensues, Anup Kumar will again lead U Mumba

#4 Nitin Madane

Nitin will make hay when the sun shines

Giving Kashiling and Shabeer company will be the underrated Nitin Madane. Coach, Bhaskaran is known for having a great eye for talent and in picking up Madane at the auctions, he pulled off a masterstroke.

Madane who is an out and out raider, scored an impressive 51 raid points last time around for the Bengal Warriors and will add some much-needed depth to Mumbai’s attack. He also ensures the burden of responsibility doesn’t fall on one raider alone – the type of player who makes hay while the sun shines.

#5 Joginder Narwal

A completely new set of defenders will take to the mat for U Mumba this season. The experienced left corner, Joginder Narwal will be tasked with the challenge of keeping things intact at the back. He enjoyed an extremely fruitful season last time around, picking up 34 tackle points.

The veteran, however, will have to take his game a notch higher this season if Mumbai are to have a chance of lifting the trophy. Time and again Joginder has displayed his ability to stifle raiders and this time will be no different. A sure shot starter.
