His father Chottu Ram was a state-level wrestler. His cousin Rajinder also played for the Indian National Kabaddi Team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coming from a sports background, the prodigy had an inkling towards Kabaddi from the start and wanted to make his name big in the world of sports, carrying on his family legacy. This was evident when he ran away from home at the age of 10 to play Kabaddi.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ajay did his schooling at Sant Ishar Public School, Mohali, Punjab and was always engaged in Kabaddi. He attended local matches and polished the raw skills passed on through his genes. His family was always supportive of him, especially his sister Disha Thakur.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He completed his graduation from Government Post Graduate College, Nalagarh, Himachal Pradesh. He joined Air India soon after and represented them at the Industrial National Championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Known for his immaculate skills to pull his team out of the direst of situations, he captains the Indian National Kabaddi Team and Tamil Thalaivas in the Pro Kabaddi League currently. He has brought his experience and his skills as a raider to great effect and has emerged with flying colours from places where there was no hope.<br>As a leader, he commands immense respect not only within the Indian and Tamil Thalaiva teams but also from the opposition teams.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"958\" height=\"959\"

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the onset of the <a href=\"https:\/\/studybizz.com\/sports\/pro-kabaddi-league-2023-teams-and-squads-complete-list-here\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"811\">Pro Kabaddi League<\/a>, he played for Bengaluru Bulls for the initial two seasons. In season one he scored a total of 122 raid points in 15 matches with an average of 8.13 raid points per match and 5 super 10s being placed in the 4th\u00a0place trailing behind the power king Maninder Singh by 8 points. Because he played this season suffering from Typhoid and high fever, shows his dedication towards the sport and his never-fall-down attitude. \u00a0He later said, \u201cYes, I lost 11 Kg due to Typhoid, but the team needed me and that was most important\u201d. The grit and determination showcased by him set milestones and shows what it takes to be a sportsman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In season two, he became the third-best raider with 79 raid points from 13 matches trailing behind raid machine Rahul Chaudhari and Kashling Adake. For every great player, there comes a flat line in his form. Thakur experienced this during the third and the fourth seasons of the Pro Kabaddi League while playing for Puneri Paltan. He could not put on an impressive show with his raiding. In season three, \u00a0he supported Deepak Hooda to reach the semifinals and play against Patna Pirates. However, the Paltans went down with their held high in the semis and the Pirates went on to win the title. Paltans secured the third position. He was playing this season with injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In season 4, his bad form continued, just scoring 63 points from 16 matches. Paltans again had to be satisfied with the third position while Pirates won the title.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Season 5 was a different story for Ajay as he was purchased by Tamil Thalaivas. He rose again and fought back against himself and went on to cement why he is known as the \u2018Escape Artist\u2019 and that he not only tackles multiple points in a single raid and escapes the defenders, but also fights any obstacle life throws at him. He scored a total of 213 raid points with 12 Super 10\u2019s in his kitty. He became the best raider in the team and went on to become the 3rd\u00a0best of the season. From there on, there was no looking back for Ajay and his Midas touch continued. He has already played 100+ games and has scored over 750 points in the Pro Kabaddi League. (Stats till Season 7). His most prolific season was the fifth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"International_career\"><\/span>International career<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>He has been playing in the Indian National Kabaddi Team since 2013 and has brought home pride and accolades. He was one of the youngest players to represent India at the age of 19. He had won gold medals representing India at the 2007 Asian Indoor Games and the 2013 Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games.\u00a0<br>He rose to prominence after the 2014 Incheon Games, where India won the gold medal in Kabaddi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He won gold at the 2014 Asian Games, the 2017 Kabaddi Championship and a bronze at the 2018 Asian Games. His big moment came in the 2016 Kabaddi World Cup which happened in India. India had already won the first two World Cups and was looking forward to their third title when they took on Iran in the finals. During half-time, India went into a trailing situation and was behind Iran by five points. Into this situation, Ajay came in scoring a 4-point raid taking India to the lead, from where India did not have to look back and won the match and the title hands down. Ajay Thakur went on to become the number one raider with the most raid points and he was also the overall highest point scorer with 68 points. He also scored a Super 10 in the game.\u00a0<br>This was not the first time Ajay had come to the rescue of his team. He has saved many matches for his team which was either going by the thread or those they were losing. He once saved Tamil Thalaivas singlehandedly from going down against Bengal Warriors (just one of many thrilling matches Ajay has produced).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Skills_and_Signature_moves\"><\/span>Skills and Signature moves<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Ajay is an attacking player and he uses his signature moves \u2013 the frog jump and the running hand touch to great effect it is a visual treat in itself to see him launch himself off the ground and touch one or more defenders whilst air-borne and land beyond anyone\u2019s reach, before escaping to safety. His calm and composed demeanour under pressure earned him the nickname \u2018Iceman&#8217;. He uses his height (1.85m) to his great advantage in reaching the midline and this gives an added edge to him over the others. He has recovered well from his injuries and has shifted his game to not further the areas affected, his game changed from toe touch to running hand touch, escape and turn. This is one of the signs of an intelligent raider who uses his strengths and covers up his weaknesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"787\" src=\"https:\/\/studybizz.com\/sports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-105-1024x787.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/studybizz.com\/sports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-105-1024x787.png 1024w, https:\/\/studybizz.com\/sports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-105-300x231.png 300w, https:\/\/studybizz.com\/sports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-105-768x590.png 768w, https:\/\/studybizz.com\/sports\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-105.png 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"List_of_achievements\"><\/span>List of achievements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For his exceptional performance, he was awarded Man of the Tournament in Kabaddi World Cup 2016.\u00a0In 2019, the nation honoured this great athlete with the Padma Shri award \u2013 The fourth highest civilian honour in the Republic of India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Won Gold at the 2007 Asian Indoor Games.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In 2013, won Gold in Kabaddi at the Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In 2014, won Gold at the Asian Games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ajay_Thakur_Stats\"><\/span>Ajay Thakur Stats<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Raiding Career<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Matches Played<\/td><td>125<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total Raids<\/td><td>1704<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Raid Points<\/td><td>801<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Avg.
