PKL 10: Pardeep Narwal and four other key players retained by teams

Once again, these stalwart players have been trusted.

The Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) is approaching its 10th season, and there isn’t much time left for the action to begin. Before that, all teams released their lists of retained and released players for PKL 10. Most teams have shown faith in young players and retained them, while many experienced players have been released. Teams have made their decisions regarding player retention and release based on their own considerations. We will now reveal the five stalwart players who have been retained by their teams before the auctions for PKL’s 10th season. This list includes several exceptional players from PKL.

5. Ankush (Jaipur Pink Panthers)

Ankush, a young defender, is credited to a great extent for Jaipur Pink Panthers‘ title win in PKL’s 9th season. During that season, Ankush played a total of 24 matches and earned the highest 89 tackle points along with a remarkable 9 high-five tackles. Despite being his debut PKL season, Ankush left a remarkable impression with his outstanding performance, becoming the tournament’s best defender. With his youth and potential, Ankush can contribute to the team for many seasons to come, which is why Jaipur Pink Panthers have retained him once again.

4. Aslam Inamdar (Puneri Paltan)

For the second consecutive time, Aslam Inamdar has been retained by Puneri Paltan. Aslam has been a part of Puneri Paltan since the 8th season and has been consistently performing for the team. He will continue to don the Puneri Paltan jersey in the 10th season as well. During PKL’s 9th season, Aslam scored 138 points in 17 matches, making him the second-highest raid point scorer for his team. Puneri Paltan has shown trust in Aslam once again, despite a slightly less impressive performance in the previous season, and hopes for a consistent performance in the upcoming season.

3. Nitesh Kumar (UP Yoddhas)

Nitesh Kumar is not just a key player for UP Yoddhas but also one of the most successful defenders in PKL history. He has been with the team for several seasons. UP Yoddhas have once again retained Nitesh Kumar. While his performance wasn’t as remarkable in the previous season, judging him solely based on one season would be unjust. He is a seasoned player who has the ability to turn matches in his team’s favor. This is why UP Yoddhas have included him in their team once again.

2. Navin Kumar (Dabang Delhi)

Navin Kumar was appointed as the captain of Dabang Delhi in the previous season. While the team’s overall performance wasn’t outstanding, Navin Kumar’s individual performance was exceptional. He scored 254 points in 23 matches during PKL’s 9th season, becoming the third-best raider. Navin Kumar has been playing exclusively for Dabang Delhi since his PKL debut and has become a prominent face for the team. In a short span of time, Navin has established new heights of success and his fans will once again see him in the Dabang Delhi jersey.

1. Pardeep Narwal (UP Yoddhas)

The most successful raider in PKL history, Pardeep Narwal, has once again been trusted by UP Yoddhas. Pardeep has consistently delivered for the team. In the 9th season, when Surinder Gill faced an injury, the responsibility fell on Pardeep to lead the team’s raiding department. He teamed up with assistant raider Rohit Tomar to guide the team to the playoffs for the fifth consecutive time. In the previous season, Dubki King Pardeep scored 220 points in 22 matches, reaffirming his prowess.
