We have reached the business end of the Pro Kabaddi League season 8, as the top six teams gear up for the playoffs. If raiders control the match, once they’re out a revival only can control their game or an all-out for their team.
This is where defenders come in as an integral aspect of the game. Defenders can stop the opposition in-form raiders and stop the flow of points, while can also revive their raiders and keep the scoreboard moving.
