Harmanjeet Singh – Gujarat Fortunegiants
Gujarat Fortugiants retained their young player, Harmanjeet Singh, who plays as a raider. Singh was able to earn only five points from four matches that he played last year. The youngster is likely to have more opportunities this season as Sonu Jaglan has been ruled out of PKL 2021 due to injury. Singh will be keen to impress the team management and cement his place in the playing seven.
Vinay – Haryana Steelers
Vinay made his debut in the Pro Kabaddi League in the seventh season of the PKL and provided a supporting role in the raiding position. He scored 125 raid points with three Super 10s. He has been retained by the Haryana Steelers for the upcoming season of PKL.

Sumit was the most impressive player in the previous Pro Kabaddi season. The UP Yoddha defender finished second on the defenders’ leaderboard, scoring 77 tackle points. He was the most successful Indian defender in PKL 2019. The left corner defender was retained by UP Yoddha ahead of the Pro Kabaddi 2021 auction. Sumit will look to continue in the same vein and destroy the opposition team’s raiders along with his captain Nitesh Kumar, who plays in the right corner position for UP Yoddha.
