Siddharth Desai made a debut last season with U Mumba and left everyone in awe with his praiseworthy game. However, U Mumba did not choose to retain him in the Season 7 auctions, which left everyone perplexed.

The Telugu Titans then decided to shell out a whopping ₹1.45 crores for him and undoubtedly expected an exceptional game out of him.

Even though Desai wasn't as good as his debut season and failed to perform in his first six matches, he left the crowd breathless on various occasions. This lanky player, also known as the "Baahubali" of PKL, undeniably gave the defense of other teams a hard time.

Raid points: 217 in 22 matches


#3 Naveen Kumar

Ever since his arrival in the league, Naveen Kumar has been in fabulous form for his team, Dabang Delhi. In his debut season itself, i.e., Season 6, this young sensation helped his underdog team reach the playoffs for the first time in the history of the league.

Well, PKL 2019 saw this prodigy at a different level altogether. Kumar, the only player of PKL to be born in the 21st century, overwhelmed fans even more with an incredible performance.

This invincible 19-year-old broke not just one but two records of record-breaker Pardeep Narwal after completing the most number of Super 10s in a season, that too consecutively.

Naveen Kumar took Delhi to PKL 2019 final and even picked up 18 raid points against the Warriors, but his team's inability to harmonize with him drowned the ship of Delhi. He also bagged the 'Most Valuable Player' award of Season 7, which was much deserved by this passionate young gun.

Raid points: 301 points in 23 matches
