Top 5 raiders of Star Sports Pro Kabaddi League Season 3

 ‘Attack is the best form of defence.’ This adage perfectly sums up how vital the role of a good attacker is in kabaddi. A good raider not only leads the charge and weakens the spirit of the rivals, but he can also inspire his own teammates to contribute to that tactical destruction.  However, being an excellent raider is not child’s play. It requires one to be quite skillful to be able to sustain the onslaught. Here are the five best raiders of Star Sports Pro Kabaddi season 3 who showed those skills and impressed everyone:

#5 Rahul Chaudhari (Telugu Titans)

The Telugu Titans skipper and the 2014 ‘Raider of the Tournament’ was not as sharp as he was in the past two seasons, but he still managed to make quite an impact. He scored 87 raid points – the fourth most in Star Sports Pro Kabaddi Season 3, with a rate of 5.92 successful raids per match.

Rahul’s lack of consistency was one of the reasons why the Titans could not get off to a big start at home. Chaudhari could summon his best only once in the four matches at Vizag as his 11-point haul downed the struggling Dabang Delhi.

But, he did succeed in righting the ship towards the end and thrashed Delhi with his 17-point blitzkrieg and continued to shine against the Patna Pirates and U Mumba. However, it was still not enough to fetch the Titans a place better than their eventual 5th position.
