#4 Dipak Niwas Hooda

Dipak Nivas Hooda first came into limelight when he won the gold at 2014 Senior National Kabaddi Championship held in Patna. He was the star all-rounder for Haryana. Soon after he attracted a bid of 12.5 lakhs in the first auction of PKL, which was the second highest in the first auction. He played for Telugu Titans and soon impressed the nation with his fitness.

Though he impressed at the Vizag based side, he could not come out of the shadow of the star player Rahul Chaudhari. It was after his move to Puneri Paltan in the third season when he proved his mettle as a raider.

His signature move - the running hand touch - is one of the most effective in the game of kabaddi. He topped the charts of 'do and die raids' in the fifth season and proved his ability to raid under pressure. His rise has been meteoric in the last few seasons. He has scored 556 points in 88 games.
