Pro Kabaddi League: Top five players with most raid points in a match

The list features some of the top names in the sport.

All seasons of the Pro Kabaddi League have been a witness to extraordinary raiding performances by the Kabaddi stars. These power-packed performances in the league have always hooked the audience to the edge. The tournament has been a witness to some awe-inspiring individual efforts by players to turn matches in their team’s favour.

Both the raiders and defenders give their very best to lead their respective teams to victory. There have been a few occasions when raiders have pushed their limits and scored points beyond our imagination. Here are some of those players who have scored the highest raid points in a Pro Kabaddi match. 

5. Rishank Devadiga (28 points)  

Rishank Devadiga gave his best performance for UP Yoddha and scored a match-winning 28 raid points against Jaipur Pink Panthers in Pro Kabaddi League Season 5. Devadiga was out just once in the entire match, as Jaipur's defence ran out of luck while attempting to stop him.

He finished the match with 23 touchpoints as well as five bonus points. The raider had only one raid in vain. Rishank Devadiga ’s exceptional performance helped UP Yoddha win a one-sided game over the Jaipur Pink Panthers by a big margin of 53-32. He is currently playing for Bengal Warriors in Season 8 and has played one match so far.

4. Rohit Kumar (30 points)  

Rohit Kumar stands at the fourth position for most points by a raider in a Pro Kabaddi League match. The star raider attempted 31 out of the team’s total of 43 raids, as the Bengaluru Bulls won the match 64-24 against UP Yoddha in the Pro Kabaddi League Season 5.

He scored half of his team’s points in the match by finishing with a total of 32 points, as he scored two tackle points to add to his 25 touchpoints as well as five bonus points on the night. Bengaluru Bulls’ 40-point winning margin is the biggest in the history of the league. Rohit is currently captaining Telugu Titans and will look to repeat the same kind of performance in this season as well.

3. Pardeep Narwal (34 points)  

Pardeep Narwal scored 34 raid points against Haryana Steelers in the Pro Kabaddi League Season 5 Eliminator to setup an unforgettable victory for Patna Pirates. The raider contributed 34% of the entire match points himself to help the Pirates defeat the Steelers 69-30. He scored 32 touchpoints and two bonus points as Patna Pirates won the match conveniently before going on to secure a third successive title. Narwal joined UP Yoddha after a long stint with Patna Pirates and hasn't been in the same rich form in the Season 8 of the league.

1. Pawan Sehrawat (39 points)  

In Season 7, Bengaluru Bulls’ Pawan Sehrawat scored 39 points against Haryana Steelers to break Pardeep Narwal’s record of the greatest number of raid points (34) in a single Pro Kabaddi League match. Pawan scripted history by single-handedly scoring all of Bengaluru Bulls’ raid points during their 59-36 victory over Haryana Steelers.

The 'Hi-Flyer' just needed 38 raids to achieve the historic feat and was tackled only once in the entire match. He gathered 34 touchpoints, five bonus points and had just one unsuccessful raid. The historic record of Pawan Sehrawat still tops the list and no one has broken it to date. He is still playing for Bengaluru Bulls and currently leading the side in Season 8.
