Star Sports Pro Kabaddi season 2 - Team of the tournament

Having witnessed a monumental end to the spectacular second season of Star Sports Pro Kabaddi, let’s take some time out to reflect on the cream of the crop. The league is littered with talent, but picking a solid seven is hard.We’ve tried and put together a stellar team that could give any kabaddi side in the world a run for their money. In order to maintain equilibrium in this side, we have picked three raiders, one all-rounder and three raiders.Here is the team of the tournament:

#1 Anup Kumar

Every characteristic you look for in a captain is instilled in Anup Kumar. U Mumba’s captain and star raider never lets the pressure get to him and, more importantly, to his side. He lets his players shine on the mat which makes him an integral part of this stellar seven.

With so many star names, Anup Kumar would be an ideal leader to guide this top notch team to glory. While we are well aware of his raiding abilities, it’s his captaincy and technical inputs which make him intrinsic to his squad. Sandeep Kandola, the best defender in the league, has admitted that Anup was the toughest raider he faced this season.

He, who puts the team ahead of himself is default captain material, and Anup fits that bill perfectly.
