One of the most prolific all-rounders of the game, Manjeet Chhillar has always done well for his team in the defense department. The 2016 Kabaddi World Cup winner has a stupendous number of 21 High 5s in the tournament. Chhillar has played 93 matches in PKL and is one of the most well known figures in the Pro Kabaddi League.

Playing for the Bengaluru Bulls in the first two seasons, Manjeet picked up six High 5s to emerge as the leading defender of his team. Manjeet’s move to the Puneri Paltan proved very beneficial for the Pune franchise as the all-rounder scored 10 High 5s in the two seasons he played for them.

The Jaipur Pink Panthers signed his services for season 5 but he was hit by a slew of injuries that had an impact on his overall performance. Even then, he notched up three High 5s in season 5.

For season 6, Manjeet re-united with Ajay Thakur to play for the Tamil Thalaivas. The wily defender added two more High 5s to his name in that edition to take his overall tally to 21 High 5s. For season 7, Manjeet Chhillar will yet again feature for the Thalaivas.
