#5 Mohammad Maghsoudlou (Iranian, Jaipur Pink Panthers)
The fourth player from the Iranian brigade to have joined the Star Sports Pro Kabaddi Season 3 in 2015 is 25-year-old Mohammad Maghsoudlou. The all-rounder, who was purchased by former champions Jaipur Pink Panthers for Rs. 7 lakh, has played only a paltry number of matches this season, but still succeeded in making an impact.
It was against the Telugu Titans in Pune that the Iranian could show his full potential. By grabbing 5 points through fiery raids, he emerged as the joint top-scorer for the AbhishekBachchan-owned side that night.
He wrapped up Star Sports Pro Kabaddi Season 3 with 8 successful raids at the rate of 0.8 per match in his limited appearances. Following the kind of displays he put out, we are sure to see a lot more of him in the coming seasons.
