Pro Kabaddi PKL 8: From Deepak Hooda to Mohammad Nabhibhaksh, Top 5 All-rounders of PKL 2022
Deepak Hooda – Jaipur Pink Panthers
The seasoned pro had a very poor start to this season. Leading the Jaipur Pink Panthers, Deepak Hooda struggled to fire in both the raids and the defence. He managed to pick just 28 points in the first five games. During early January, the team took a collective decision to relenquish him from captaincy and that move paid rich dividends as Hooda roared back to form. He has now collected 57 Raid points and 13 tackle points so far in the season, playing a vital role for Jaipur

Vijay – Dabang Delhi
Dabang Delhi’s Vijay has been doing an exceptional role for his team. The team is currently struggling with star raider Naveen Kumar missing the matches due to an injury, but Naveen is steeping up in Naveen’s absence in the raids. In the defence too, despite the presence of big names like Manjeet Chillar, Joginder Narwal and Sandeep Narwal, Vijay has shown his skills in tackles as well. So far in this season, Vijay has picked up 55 raid points and 19 tackle points, including two Super 10s.
Mohsen Maghsoudlou – U Mumba
Iranian Mohsen Maghsoudlou is living up to his tag as an all-rounder by scoring crucial points for U Mumba. The team’s star defender Fazel Atrachali has struggled to gt going so far and Maghsoudlou has given good contributions when the team needed it the most. He has currently earned a total of 23 points.

Adarsh T – Telugu Titans
Primarily a defender, Adarsh has also emerged as a good raider for Telugu Titans, who are struggling without the injured Siddharth Desai. With the team having collected just a solitary victory in their league, they are in search of good raiders and Adarsh T has utilised the opportunity to showcase his all-round skills. He has picked up 34 raid points in the season so far, including one Super 10. He has alos racked up 16 tackle points.
Mohammad Nabhibhaksh – Bengal Warriors
Mohammad Nabhibhaksh has been taking care of both the defence and offence for the defending champions Bengal Warriors. Apart from captain Maninder Singh, the team doesn’t have a good secondary raider to complement the skipper and Nabhibhaksh had to take that responsibility and he has done a good job so far. He has picked up 36 Raid points and 31 tackle points, including two super tackles and has been doing a good job for his team.
