PKL: Top 5 raiders fastest to reach 300 points in a season

Raiders play a vital role in a team’s success in PKL.

The Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) has witnessed countless incredible performances by raiders. The Raiders have dominated the sport and played a key role in the league’s success.

They fill the stands and captivate audiences with their breathtaking skills, be it a dubki, a high-flying jump, a swift running hand touch, or a stunning escape from a herd of defenders.

Several raiders are performing consistently well. However, some raiders stand a cut above the rest; they don’t just score points; they dominate the game and define the season.

Overall, seven times a raider has crossed the 300 raid points mark in a single season, with the most recent being Ayan Lohchab in the 12th edition.
