Former Pro Kabaddi League champion Rishank Devadiga picked his best playing seven of PKL 10 ahead of the playoffs. Interestingly, the former U Mumba star did not select star Indian raiders Pawan Sehrawat and Maninder Singh in his team.
Speaking on KBD Live, Devadiga picked the duo of Mohammadreza Shadloui and Yogesh Dahiya as the two corner defenders. Puneri Paltan all-rounder Shadloui is the number one defender of PKL 10 right now, having executed 90 successful tackles in the competition. Meanwhile, Dahiya has performed brilliantly in his debut season, pulling off 65 successful tackles for Dabang Delhi KC.
Next, Rishank Devadiga named Puneri Paltan's Abinesh Nadarajan and Haryana Steelers' Jaideep Dahiya as the two cover defenders.
Nadarajan has shown stark improvement this season by earning 53 tackle points at the right cover position. On the other side, left cover Dahiya has scored 67 tackle points and is the best defender of Haryana this season.
To complete the team, Rishank named Puneri Paltan skipper Aslam Inamdar as Left In, Dabang Delhi KC captain Ashu Malik as Right In and Jaipur Pink Panthers' star Arjun Deshwal as the Center. Deshwal and Malik are the top two raiders of the season, whereas Inamdar has been brilliant as the captain of Pune.
