The Most Valuable Player (MVP) in his debut season of the PKL, Season 3, Rohit Kumar announced himself on the scene of Kabaddi and how.

He has been a consistent performer from his debut season, but in his two years at the Bengaluru Bulls, he failed to find support from his fellow raiders, as the Bulls' finished a disappointing fourth in Zone B in Season 5.

This season has been quite different, with Pawan Kumar Sehrawat emerging as the key raider for the side, Rohit got the time and space to operate as a captain and not just a raider.

In the initial matches of the league, Rohit gave his share of raids to an in-form Pawan and took the back-seat to the benefit of the team rather than being selfish. When Pawan's prolificity reduced, Rohit was ready to step in and take over the raiding duties, and since then his partnership with Pawan has spelled doom for their opponents.

The Bulls' captain has not only led his team to their second final in PKL history but also displayed his raiding prowess with 161 raid points at a strike rate close to 40%.
