Prashanth Kumar Rai has established himself as one of the most classy raiders of Pro Kabaddi at the moment. Hailing from Karnataka, Prashanth started his career as a do or die raider for the Telugu Titans back in the first three seasons.

He joined Dabang Delhi K.C. back in Season 4 but had a silent season. He joined the Haryana Steelers in season 5 where he emerged as a vital raider for the team. In season 6 with UP Yoddha, Prashant outshined big match raiders like Shrikant Jadhav and Rishank Devadiga and established himself as the lead raider, scoring 144 raid points in 21 matches.

Prashant has a decent reach to the midline because of his height that allows him to take swift bonus points. He is an expert in executing running hand touches with flexibility across the court.

Overall, Prashanth has 312 raid points out of 81 matches in Pro Kabaddi. With 10 Super 10s to his name, Prashant averages 3.85 raid points.
