#5 Mohit Chhillar
Mohit Chhillar formed a lethal defensive partnership with Surender Nada at their time with the Mumbai-based franchise in the Pro Kabaddi League. Mohit is a burly right corner hailing from Nizampur, near New Delhi, which has been a nurturing ground for Indian internationals like Rakesh Kumar and Manjeet Chhillar. Mumba’s top defender in PKL season 2 and season 3 will be hoping to repeat his performances for the Bulls in PKL 4.
Relying majorly on the knee hold and the ankle hold, Mohit Chhillar has amassed 123 tackle points across 3 seasons. It thus came as no surprise when the defender was the most expensive pick at the auction
