All the stats for the article have been taken from Prokabaddi.com
#1 Siddharth Sirish Desai (U Mumba)
It has never looked like it is the debut season for this player. The 26-year-old Siddharth Desai, with 98 points in seven matches, is one of the biggest contenders for the green sleeve (given to best raider) this season.
He proved the critics wrong that U Mumba are lacking a good raider in their squad this season.
With six super tens in seven matches, not out percentage of 83.59 and 13.85 average raid points per match, this man has been the center of worries for his opponents.
He proved what he is made of on his debut against Puneri Paltan when he scored 15 points in just 23 raids, thereby playing a crucial role for his team to earn a tie. He has totally justified his price tag of 34.4 lakhs.
#2 Manjeet (Patna Pirates)
Manjeet has been phenomenal support raider for Pardeep Narwal. He has got 48 raid points in 10 matches.
Manjeet showed his skills when he scored eight points on his debut and in Patna Pirates' first match this season against Tamil Thalaivas.
He even has a super 10 to his name. More importantly, this super 10 came when Pardeep Narwal was out of form and his team was struggling to get raid points.
Manjeet was even the top raider for Patna Pirates against Telugu Titans with seven raid points.
Titans have one of the best defences this season with the likes of Abozar Mohajer Mighani and Vishal Bharadwaj and Pardeep Narwal could score only four points against them. He will definitely be a player to watch out for in the upcoming matches.
#3 Naveen Kumar (Dabang Delhi)
The eighteen-year-old Naveen Kumar has been the best raider for Dabang Delhi this season. He has scored 61 raid points and two tackle points in eight matches. He also has two super tens to his name with his 42.75% of raids being successful.
He along with Chandran Ranjit has been the backbone of Delhi's raiding department. His debut saw him scoring five raid points and providing perfect support to Chandran Ranjit which helped the team to secure a draw against Gujarat Fortunegiants.
#4 Pawan Kumar Sehrawat (Bengaluru Bulls)
One of the finds of the season, Pawan Sehrawat is another competitor for the green sleeve. The 22-year-old scored 20 points against Tamil Thalaivas in just 25 raids in Bengaluru Bulls' first match of the season.
With 89 raid points in seven matches, he has been in the form of his life. Those 89 points included eight super raids - most in this season by any player, five super tens and successful raid percentage of 54.71.
His ability to remain calm in pressure situations was shown when Patna Pirates were trailing by one point and in a do-or-die for Bengaluru Bulls, he brought a point for them and helped them win the match by two points. He even has scored five tackle points.
#5 Athul MS (Tamil Thalaivas)
Brought by Tamil Thalaivas at a price of 9.2 lakhs, the 22-year-old Athul MS has been a perfect support raider for Ajay Thakur so far.
He has scored 30 raid points in six matches with the percentage of his successful raids being 58.33.
Athul made a statement against UP Yoddhas when he scored 7 raid points and got tackled just once. He continued his good performance against Bengaluru Bulls when he scored eight points.
