PKL History: 3 players you may not know played for Bengaluru Bulls in PKL 

The defending champions of the VIVO Pro Kabaddi League, Bengaluru Bulls, have always been the top contenders for the title thanks to their genius coach Randhir Singh Sehrawat. The smiling assassin has always built a mighty squad for the Bengaluru-based franchise which has seldom disappointed the fans.

In the first season of the league itself, the Bulls qualified for the semifinals. They reached the final next year but the fans had to wait until the end of season 6 to see Bengaluru Bulls as the champions of the Pro Kabaddi League.

As per the rules and regulations of the Pro Kabaddi League, a lot of teams undergo major changes once a season ends. The franchises have the option to release the players they do not want and then buy the players they want in the auction.

While sometimes the franchises' decision to release a player proves to be right, but the same is not the case every time. The fans have seen multiple players become megastars after changing franchises.

So, in this article, we will have a look at the 3 players you may not know played for Bengaluru Bulls once -

#3 Pawan Kumar Kadian

He had a decent record of 20 raid points at an average of 2.22 raid points per match. Pawan had provided good support to Rohit Kumar that year. However, the raider was released before PKL 2017.

Kadian had even scored a tackle point for the Bulls that year. He played for the Jaipur Pink Panthers and Dabang Delhi K.C. before joining Puneri Paltan in the year 2019.

Pardeep Narwal is perhaps the most popular name of the Pro Kabaddi League right now. With over 900 points to his name, Narwal has certainly become the biggest player of the entire tourney. His fine performances have helped Patna Pirates win the Pro Kabaddi championship thrice.

However, very few fans may know that this youngster had made his PKL debut for Bengaluru Bulls in the 2nd edition. Bengaluru Bulls did not give many opportunities to Pardeep. He played only 6 matches for the Bulls scoring 9 points at an average of 1.5.

His best performance came in the match versus Puneri Paltan where he had scored 4 raid points. But, since then he has accumulated over 910 points donning the Patna Pirates jersey. He is also the skipper of the Patna-based franchise.

#1 Mohit Chhillar

Another former U Mumba star who played for Bengaluru Bulls in season 4, Mohit Chhillar had arrived at the Bulls camp along with his defence partner Surender Nada. The right corner defender had played all 14 matches for Bengaluru Bulls where he had taken 47 tackle points at a stupendous average of 3.38 tackle points per match.

Mohit registered 4 High 5s that season and was the backbone of the defensive unit. Unfortunately, he could not lead his team to the semifinals of season 4.

Chhillar moved to the Haryana Steelers next season after being released by the Bengaluru Bulls. The diving thigh hold specialist reunited with Anup Kumar at Jaipur Pink Panthers last year. In PKL 2019, he is representing the Tamil Thalaivas.
