Even though their respective teams have not had expected starts in the league, both caught many eyeballs for their sensational performances.
Kolhapur boy Jamadar is not only the top attacker of the league with 52 total points but also leads the chart of total skydives (9) and total high fives (4). The 31-year-old attacker has scored an impressive 48 points by dismissing opposition defenders with dives.
Chennai Quick Guns’ Ramji Kashyap (46) and Arun Gunki of Telugu Yoddhas (32) claim the second and third positions respectively in the top attackers’ list.
He has won the ‘Attacker of the Match’ award twice and the ‘Ultimate Kho of the Match’ award once during the three matches. The Rajasthan Warriors’ skipper, Jamadar has been giving his all for the team but they are yet to secure the first win of the season.
Trivandrum (Kerala)-born Sreejesh, on the other hand, has emerged as the top defender in the first week of Ultimate Kho Kho.
