Kabaddi teams do their best to take more and more defending pairs. Here are the pair of 5 defenders you can watch out for this Kabaddi season.

1. Joginder Narwal and Sandeep Narwal

Sandeep Narwal, the right corner for Dabang Delhi, is the most potent defender in Kabaddi. He will defend with Joginder Narwal, who has helped the team to win two playoffs in a row. Their waist hold and body block tricks will be fun to watch.
