Pardeep Narwal

Pardeep Narwal took the Kabaddi world by storm this year, becoming the first raider in Pro Kabaddi history to score 1,000 raid points in the competition. Narwal, who contributed to Patna Pirates' three conscutive titles from Season 3 to Season 5, also amassed the landmark of 50 Super-10s and 50 super raids this year.

As captain, Narwal single-handedly led his state Haryana in the 66th Senior National Kabaddi Championship, where the team ended semi-finalists. The team also won the 3rd position match against Uttarakhand 43-35 in the 3rd Pandit Deen Dayal Kabaddi Championship.

Although Patna Pirates failed to qualify for the second consecutive season of PKL, Pardeep Narwal had a tremendous season yet again, ending the seventh season with the second-highest (302) raid points in 22 matches at an average of 13.73 per game. Despite getting no support in the offense, Pardeep continued his dominance in the competition on his own.

The recently-married Pardeep Narwal also helped CCS Delhi claim gold in the 43rd All India Civil Services Kabaddi Tournament. He got picked in the Indian Kabaddi team for South Asian Games 2019, where the team bagged gold medal for the 10th time in the event's history.

Having grown immensely as a matured raider, Pardeep has shown time and again why he is the best in the business when it comes to making records and taking games away single-handedly.
