Ajay Thakur
Ajay Thakur captained India's national team at the 2018 Asian Games, a tournament in which India, under his leadership, lost in the semifinal and finished with bronze — the first time the Indian men's team had failed to win kabaddi gold at the Asian Games since the event was introduced, a genuinely significant marker of the sport's tightening international competition. Thakur had led India to gold at the 2017 Asian Kabaddi Championship and the 2018 Kabaddi Masters tournament in the lead-up to that Asian Games, making the 2018 result a notable break from his otherwise successful captaincy record rather than the outright triumph it's sometimes remembered as. He built his domestic Pro Kabaddi League career with Bengaluru Bulls before later captaining Tamil Thalaivas, and the Indian government recognized his career with both the Arjuna Award and the Padma Shri, one of India's highest civilian honors. Thakur's combination of leading India through a genuinely difficult transitional Asian Games result and his sustained success captaining multiple PKL franchises has made him one of the more historically significant captains during kabaddi's shift toward tighter global competition.
VS
Deepak Niwas Hooda
Deepak Niwas Hooda became the fourth raider in Pro Kabaddi League history to cross 1,000 career raid points, reaching the mark during the 2022 season and finishing his raiding tally at 1,020 points, split between 846 raid-touch points and 174 bonus points. Across 157 career PKL matches, Hooda also recorded 265 tackles for 99 defensive points, including 8 super tackles, giving him 1,119 combined career points — a genuine two-way statistical profile rare among the league's top raiders, most of whom rarely contribute meaningfully on defense. His 23 career super raids and 35 Super 10 performances reflected sustained high-pressure production across a raiding career built on a 38 percent success rate over more than 2,100 total raid attempts. Hooda's combination of becoming the fourth player to reach 1,000 career raid points and his unusually productive 99-point defensive tally has made him one of the most statistically well-rounded players in Pro Kabaddi League history.
