Patna Pirates have majorly relied on the exploits of their star raider and skipper Pardeep Narwal for the past few Pro Kabaddi seasons. Pardeep Narwal's performances on the mat have continued to establish himself as the most lethal raider in the league with his unexpected 'Dubki' and well-timed hand touches.

In the last league match of the Pro Kabaddi Season 7 for the Patna Pirates, they took on a second-string Bengal Warriors, who had rested their key players for rest before the playoffs. The game began with the Warriors taking early control but the Pirates asserted themselves soon as Pardeep took control in the match.

Pardeep tormented the Warriors' defence as he did the bulk of the raiding for the Pirates almost scoring at will and even had a Super Tackle to his name. In the final minutes of the game, Pardeep produced two stunning Super Raids as the Pirates inflicted more All-outs on their opponents to eventually clinch the game with a stunning 69 - 41 margin.

Another Pardeep Narwal masterpiece in the list, his performance against the Haryana Steelers in the Playoff Eliminator in Pro Kabaddi League Season 5 was phenomenal, to say the least.

This match is marked by the famous Pardeep Narwal raid when he single-handedly cleaned up six defenders of the Haryana Steelers to inflict a massive 8-point raid (6 touch points + 2 All-out points), a feat that was never done in Pro Kabaddi history yet and hasn't been done since then.

Pardeep Narwal was as at his best in this crucial encounter as he did not provide any breathing space to the Steelers' defence. He kept piling on the raid points throughout the match as the Pirates made easy work of the Steelers winning 69 - 30 to make their way into the second Qualifier. Narwal finished with an impressive 34 raid points with 32 touch points and 2 bonus points in a total attempted 32 raids.

Bengaluru Bulls' star man Pawan Kumar Sehrawat occupies the top spot in this list courtesy his record-breaking 39 raid points effort against the Haryana Steelers in Pro Kabaddi League Season 7.

The Bulls took on the Steelers in a Pro Kabaddi League clash with the defending champions having the opportunity to seal a playoffs berth with a win. They were missing the services of their skipper Rohit Kumar and Pawan stepped up to take the charge for his side on the mat.

Pawan was a persistent thorn for the Steelers' defence as he kept picking up points consistently to overcome the momentum of their opponents' raiders Prashanth Kumar Rai and Vikash Kandola. He broke the record for most points by a raider in first half of a Pro Kabaddi match.

Despite their raiding unit doing well, the Steelers were unable to contain Pawan's high-flying exploits and succumbed to four All-outs in the match. Pawan broke Pardeep's record in the final minutes of the match and added more on top to make it 39 points in the end. He finished the match with 34 points and 5 bonus points to get the win and secure a playoffs spot for the Bengaluru Bulls.
