5 best defenders from Star Sports Pro Kabaddi Season 4

Sandeep Dhull in action for the Titans

Defenders have never had it easy in Kabaddi. They have to do the dirty work. Plus, for all the hard work they put in, the adulation defenders receive is nowhere close to what the raiders enjoy. As Star Sports Pro Kabaddi (PKL) Season 4 drew to a close on Sunday, it’s only fair that we look at five of the best defenders from the league. Defenders who not only played well but were instrumental in their team’s performance in season four.

#5 Sandeep Dhull (Telugu Titans)

If you didn’t know who Sandeep Dhull was prior to season 4, you definitely know him now. The Telugu Titans left corner had a splendid edition. For a 20-year-old, he showed immense patience and maturity, rarely found among players of his age.

Sandeep averaged more than 3 successful tackles per match – only four players in the league can boast of such a statistic. He played a huge part in the Telugu Titans’ unexpected defensive success this season. With the pace he possesses, he helped his team play a high line and moved across the mat in blazing fashion. His partners had a tough time, holding his hand and matching his movements. He finished the season with 35 successful tackles to his name – nota bad debut season by any means.
