5 Cricketers and their Kabaddi equivalents
Kabaddi is India’s gift to the world, but for decades it was lost in the wilderness and a handpicked few knew the name of India’s Kabaddi players.
5. Jasprit Bumrah – Sandeep Narwal
Sandeep Narwal is often referred to as a ‘beast’ in PKL and that is also exactly what Jasprit Bumrah is when it comes to bowling. One of the most destructive bowlers India has ever produced and one of the most powerful defenders to have played for India have many things in common.
Bumrah has been an integral part for Mumbai Indians winning the trophy, Sandeep was the wall in season 3 for Patna Pirates and played a humongous part in them winning the coveted trophy for the first time. Most of the batsmen are fearful of Bumrah and most of the raiders don’t go anywhere close to Sandeep when he is on the mat.
Just like any captain trusts Bumrah in the death overs, for whichever team Sandeep has played their captains always look up to him when it comes to tackling the opposition’s best raiders in pressure situations.
