Rahul Chaudhari is perhaps the most familiar name when it comes to PKL’s most famous and renowned
Kabaddi players. Not only for the PKL teams, but he has also been a terrific player even for India’s
National Kabaddi Team. He is the first player and raider in the PKL to surpass 700 points. Surprisingly, he
was a defender at first, but with a grind and hard work, he converted himself into a productive raider. In
a total of 139 games, Rahul has scored 1040 raid points and when it comes to defending, he has 97
tackle points in the same number of games.

He plays for Puneri Paltan after some successful years with Telugu Titans and Tamil Thalaivas.

been. Sandeep turned himself from a corner defender to one of the top all-rounders PKL has ever
produced. Sandeep is famous for his Bloke move. He was also a part of Indian Contingent which won the
gold medal in the South Asian Games in 2016. The man has big muscles, and they help him to wriggle

Naveen Kumar is still quite new to the PKL world as he made his debut just three seasons earlier. Despite
the sort of newness, the man has made the PKL of his own. He is agile and has a lot of speed, which
makes it very difficult for the defenders to tackle him. In the debut season, he was Dabang Delhi’s top
scorer with 177 points. The next season, he won the Most Valuable Player award. Naveen is the fastest
player to reach 600 points in the history of the league.

In the 8th season of PKL, despite the injuries, he still managed to win the MVP award. However, he
cherished his team’s success rather than the MVP award, as Dabang Delhi won their maiden PKL Title.

as one of the best all-rounders in the history of PKL after all. The man is captain of the India National
Kabaddi Team and was a crucial part of the Indian team which won the gold medal at the 2016 South

time teacher and practiced Kabaddi whenever time permitted him. Life was never easy for him, but a
gold-winning feat at the All-India University tournament made him decide to become a professional
kabaddi player.

Pawan Sherawat has always been one of the most sought-after players thanks to his prolific career and
ability to pick a bunch of defenders every time he raids. With twenty-two attack points from twenty-five
raids, Pawan Kumar single-handedly assisted the Bengaluru Bulls in winning the PKL 2018.

He has been a productive player season in and season out without even the slightest slump in the form.
That’s why Tamil Thalaivas picked him for the whooping 2.26 crores which makes him the most
expensive player in the history of PKL. The man also holds the record for the most raid points in a Pro
Kabaddi match and the most points by any player in a single half of the Pro Kabbadi match (39 and 18
