Jasvir Singh took over the captaincy from season 4. Panthers defeated U Mumba and clinched the trophy for the first time. Let's cherish those old moments and take a glance at those five players who were valuable to the team in the past.

#5 Ran Singh

Ran Singh was a part of Jaipur Pink Panthers since season 1 before switching to Bengal Warriors in season 5.

He is well-known for his all-aggressive tackles, blocks and dashes. It never surprised us when we witnessed him performing a tackle single-handedly.

Till date, he has scored 218 points in 77 matches, which makes him one of the best all-rounders of kabaddi. He was retained by Bengal Warriors for the sixth edition of the league.

#4 Rohit Rana

Rana started his PKL career playing from Jaipur's team

Another defender makes it on the list, and he is the masked-man Rohit Rana. One can very easily recognize him as a lethal defender with a black cloth wrapped across his mouth area. He is one of the most refined defenders of Pro Kabaddi League.

Rana started his PKL career playing with the Jaipur team. He played a substantial role in the team winning the league. He became a part of Telegu Titans in season 5. In the upcoming season, Rohit will be seen donning on the black-orange jersey of U Mumba.

#3 Rajesh Narwal

Rajesh is probably one of the best finds of the league

Rajesh Narwal has been an important part of Jaipur's franchise since the beginning. He led the team when Jasvir was injured and won the matches all by himself. Rajesh is probably one of the best finds of the league. He made a debut in season 1 from Jaipur itself.

Rajesh, even though an excellent player, did not get many chances to play once he switched to UP Yoddhas in season 5 and even when he got the chance, he was unable to perform at all. Dabang Delhi has invested in him and fans are waiting for him to show that extra-special Rajesh magic.

#2 Jasvir Singh

The Nawabi smiling assassin. As the name suggests, Jasvir makes his raids look like a stroll in the garden or as it's called in Hindi, Nawabi chaal. He raids almost effortlessly. And who can forget his deadly scorpion kicks? Jasvir has surely given us a lot to remember.

Jasvir was a part of Jaipur since season 1. It will be a change for the fans as he will be playing for Tamil Thalaivas in the approaching season. Well, it's a great opportunity to see the trio of Manjeet, Ajay, and Jasvir play together.

#1 Maninder Singh

He came, he disappeared. Yes, Maninder Singh played a big part in making Jaipur win the title of the inaugural champions. He scored 137 points in just 16 matches. How mind-boggling is that? After playing two seasons, Maninder disappeared.

Fans were perplexed as well as excited when he made a comeback in the league in season 5 as a player from Bengal Warriors. In season 5 too, he was an instant hit. Maninder scored 192 points in 21 matches in season 5. Better late than never! Well, he will be seen playing for the warriors in season 6 as well.
