The 22-year-old raider, Pawan Kumar Kadian has never been a regular feature in last the seasons for U Mumba (Seasons 2 and 3) and Bengaluru Bulls (Season 4), where he scored just 42 raid points in 24 games collectively. Despite such a poor performance, Pawan was picked up by Jaipur Pink Panthers at Rs 13 lakhs, which was just 1 lakh higher than his base price.

He was not expected to feature as a primary raider for Jaipur in the presence of Jasvir and K. Slevamani. But injury to their key players gave him a much-needed chance to prove his mettle for the inaugural champions. He is currently the leading raid point scorer for Jaipur Pink Panthers with 50 raid points to his name, making it his best ever PKL season. He has also scored a Super 10 against his former team U Mumba.
