Fantasy breakdown:

Sindh Sonics:

Vicky last featured at the K7 Stageup for Narwal Golden Club where he put up 7 tackle points and 9 raid points. He is a solid all-rounded pick here.

Balraj Singh featured in the 46^th Kabaddi Junior Nationals for Punjab where he managed to put up 9 raid points. He also had a tackle point to his name.

Sourav Kumar played once for Jharkhand at the 47^th Kabaddi Junior Nationals for Jharkhand and had 2 tackle points to his name. He was snapped up at the PKL auction last year by Puneri Paltan.

Panchala Pride:

Armaan has past experience of playing in the PKL, with the youngster registering 22 raid points in his time there. He can also contribute on the defensive end.

Ankit Singh suited up twice for Bihar at the 46^th Kabaddi Junior Nationals and he put up 10 tackle points in those games.

Nishant Kumar also played twice for Bihar at the 46^th Kabaddi Junior Nationals where he had a tackle point to go with 2 raid points.

Top picks:

Must-haves:

• Vicky

• Sourav Kumar

• Armaan

• Ankit Singh

Worth a shot:

• Balraj Singh

• Angad Kumar

• Abhimanyu Kumar

• Nishant Kumar

Captaincy options:

Armaan: Armaan is the easy captaincy pick here thanks to his experience at the PKL as mentioned earlier. Look for him to carry much of the raiding load and deliver big returns in this one.

Sourav Kumar: Sourav Kumar also made his way to the PKL last year but wasn’t able to get game time. Look for the defender to make his mark on the competition with a statement performance on opening day.
