The Pro Kabaddi Most Valuable Player (MVP) award is won by players who perform exceptionally well throughout the season.

Since the inception of Pro Kabaddi in 2014, six players across eight seasons have won the award with raiders predominantly dominating the list.

Of all the kabaddi players on the Pro Kabaddi MVP list, only Pardeep Narwal and Naveen Kumar have managed to win the award twice. While Pardeep won the prestigious award in Season 4 and 5 of PKL, Naveen Kumar won in Season 7 and Season 8 respectively. 

Meanwhile, Asian Gold medalist Manjeet Chhillar is the only all-rounder to have won the MVP award.

Here are the players on the Pro Kabaddi MVP list.

Pro Kabaddi Season 1 MVP: Anup Kumar

The first captain for the U Mumba team, Anup Kumar, was the standout performer in the inaugural season of the Pro Kabaddi with 169 points. His tally of 155 raid points in Season 1 were the most points by any raider for the first four seasons until Pardeep Narwal broke the record in Season 5 (2017).

The 2016 Kabaddi World Cup winner led U Mumbai to the final, although they lost 35-24 to Jaipur Pink Panthers in a riveting clash.

Pro Kabaddi Season 2 MVP: Manjeet Chhillar

Manjeet Chhillar won the Pro Kabaddi MVP award in Season 2 for his all-round performance with the Bengaluru Bulls. The all-rounder - who finished with 107 points (67 raid points, 40 tackle points) - is the only player in Pro Kabaddi history to feature in the top 10 list for both best raiders and defenders in a single edition.

Despite battling health issues during the league stage, Manjeet was the driving force for the Bulls en-route to the PKL final against U Mumba. Back then, his tally of 11 points was the most by any player in the Season 2 PKL final, but the Bengaluru Bulls star ended on the losing side by a twist of fate.

Manjeet Chhillar continues to hold the records for most tackle points (339) and most successful tackles (324) in Pro Kabaddi.

Pro Kabaddi Season 3 MVP: Rohit Kumar

Rohit Kumar is fondly remembered as the first MVP winner of a PKL-winning team. Rohit, known for his ruthless attacking and superb flexibility on the mat, capped a memorable debut season in the Pro Kabaddi as he pioneered Patna Pirates to the title in 2016.

He tallied 102 raid points in 12 matches, averaging 8.5 raid points per match. This was one of the key reasons he was awarded the PKL MVP award.

The raider, now plying his trade with Telugu Titans, has amassed 100 points in every PKL season since his debut in Pro Kabaddi Season 3.

Pro Kabaddi Season 4 MVP: Pardeep Narwal

Season 4 marked the arrival of Pardeep Narwal as a prolific raider. The former Patna Pirates star, who registered 116 raid points with 10 Super Raids in Season 3, upped the ante in Pro Kabaddi Season 4 by tallying 133 points.

The Haryana raider developed his signature move ‘Dubki�?in PKL Season 4, as he racked up five Super 10s and completed three Super Raids in 16 matches to pioneer Patna to their second successive final.

Pro Kabaddi Season 5 MVP: Pardeep Narwal

Pardeep Narwal broke not just one but five records in a historic PKL Season 5 with Patna Pirates. The Haryana-born raider went past Anup Kumar for most raid points in a single campaign whilst playing the 12th match of the season.

Going forward, Pardeep went on to script history by tallying the most total points in a season (369 points), most successful raids (271), most super raids (18) and most super 10s (19).

Pardeep Narwal averaged a mammoth 14.19 raid points per match in PKL Season 5.

�?Patna Pirates (@PatnaPirates) February 16, 2020

Against the Haryana Steelers in Eliminator 2, Pardeep Narwal completed a historic raid worth eight points, as he managed to get six defenders out and secured two all-out points as well. In all, the �?/span>Dubki King�?registered a record 34-point haul in the match.

Pro Kabaddi Season 6 MVP: Pawan Sehrawat

Of all his performances in PKL Season 6, Pawan Sehrawat will be remembered for spearheading Bengaluru Bulls�?comeback in the final against the Gujarat Giants (formerly known as Gujarat Fortunegiants).

The Bulls were eight points behind with just 18 minutes left in the final, but a spectacular performance in the second half saw Sehrawat turn around the contest in his team’s favour and end the match with 22 points - the most by any kabaddi player in a PKL final.

Pawan Sehrawat earned the MVP award as he finished the campaign as the leading raid-point scorer (271) and registered the most Super Raids (12) in the entire season.

Pro Kabaddi Season 7 MVP: Naveen Kumar

After a splendid debut campaign with Dabang Delhi K.C. in Season 6, Naveen Kumar continued his stellar form in PKL Season 7 with 303 points in 23 matches.

But what was more outstanding is that the young kabaddi player registered 22 Super 10s in the campaign, breaking the previous record set by Pardeep Narwal in Season 5.

A raider with speed, strength, agility and tact, Naveen Kumar averaged a staggering 13.08 raid points per game in Pro Kabaddi Season 7. By the end of the campaign, he became the youngest player to score 300 raid points in a single Pro Kabaddi season.

Pro Kabaddi Season 8 MVP: Naveen Kumar 

Naveen Kumar became only the second player in Pro Kabaddi after Pardeep Narwal to win the MVP award of the season twice. Naveen's 207 raid points across 17 PKL matches in Season 8 played a key role in Dabang Delhi K.C. winning their maiden Pro Kabaddi title.

Naveen Kumar scored 12 super 10s in PKL Season 8 with seven of them coming in succession.

Perhaps the best all-rounder in kabaddi at the moment, no one has successfully executed more Super Tackles than Sandeep Narwal (28) in Pro Kabaddi history. Fourth in the all-time leaderboard for Tackle Points (310), Sandeep is just as electrifying on the other end of the mat and has 249 Raid Points to his name.

The dynamic all-rounder who loves a mean block and dash while defending recently revealed his kabaddi dream team in an Instagram Live on the PKL’s official handle and here we look at the players he chose to be a part of the team, having already picked himself.

@amit.hooda258 reveals a sweet story of @sandeepnarwal110's sweet tooth. Hear about how the duo made the most of their time together at Patna Pirates in Season

A post shared by Pro Kabaddi (@prokabaddi) on Nov 2, 2020 at 7:13am PST

Corners �?Amit Hooda and Joginder Narwal

Sandeep chose Joginder Narwal to captain his dream team and it doesn’t come much of surprise for those who follow the sport closely. Not the most flamboyant player on the mat, Joginder is someone who likes to lead by example. Excellent at organizing defences, he may not always feature among the points but brings a calming and assuring presence for his teammates on the mat. An experienced head, Joginder has scored 173 Tackle Points during his PKL career.

Amit Hooda is another experienced corner that any team would love to have. The second-best defender in the league in Season 4 with 51 Tackle Points, Hooda’s anticipation and ability to time his tackles perfectly make him a nightmare for raiders to deal with. One of just 17 defenders to have more than 10 High 5s in league history, Hooda’s managed to score five tackle points or more in a match 12 times. He has 237 Tackle Points and maintained a tackle strike rate of more than 50 per cent over the years.  

Covers �?Surjeet Singh and Manjeet Chhillar

The cover combination of Surjeet Singh and Manjeet Chhillar is one of the best in Pro Kabaddi history and it’s difficult to think of a better duo to play in these positions. Manjeet tops the leaderboard for most Tackle Points (339) and Surjeet isn’t far behind in fifth spot with 278 points.

The second season’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) and a two-time Best Defender in the PKL, Manjeet’s decision-making and vice-like grip make him the tormentor-in-chief for opposition raiders. A formidable frame on the mat and good at reading the play as well, Manjeet’s dashes are often like poetry in motion and generally bad news if you are a raider.

Surjeet, meanwhile, will go down in history as one of the best Right Cover defenders to have ever played the game. Well-adept when deployed as a Left Cover too, he’s just one of two Cover defenders to feature in the top 15 Tackle Points scorers in league history and is the sole Cover defender to notch a minimum of 50 Tackle Points in the last three PKL campaigns.

The only thing more powerful than @sandeepnarwal110 is his own Dream Team! What do you think of his selection?

A post shared by Pro Kabaddi (@prokabaddi) on Nov 1, 2020 at 6:40am PST

Raiders �?Pawan Sehrawat and Rohit Kumar

Teammates at Bengaluru Bulls, the superstar pairing of Pawan Sehrawat and Rohit Kumar are no strangers when it comes to raiding and wreaking havoc on opponents in tandem. Seventh on the leaderboard for Raid Points (670), Rohit helped Patna Pirates to the PKL crown in the third season and was also adjudged the MVP for the campaign. Unstoppable when in full flight, Rohit’s capable of single-handedly beating any team on his day.

Sehrawat, though, stands a class apart from the other raiders in the league. His breakout season was the sixth edition of the PKL when he notched 282 Raid Points to help Bengaluru Bulls to their maiden title. Sehrawat was named the MVP for his efforts that season and followed it up by scoring 360 in the seventh edition of the league, secondly only to Pardeep Narwal that season �?the league’s all-time leading scorer.

Last season saw him break the record for most points in a game. Sehrawat scored 39 points against Haryana Steelers, besting the previous best mark of 34, which was set by Pardeep in the fifth season. A player who thrives under pressure, Sehrawat (26) is second only to Pardeep (53) when it comes to Super Raids as well.

A former MVP and a two-time Best Defender Award winner, Tamil Thalaivas' Manjeet Chhillar is one of the greats of Pro Kabaddi and continues to be a solid player in the league.

Manjeet is the league's leading tackle point-scorer with 339 and is one of only two all-rounders to score over 200 raid points and 300 tackle points alongside U Mumba’s Sandeep Narwal.

The veteran has played with and against the best that PKL has had to offer and is a reliable authority on who the league's best players have been. So, when Manjeet picked his Pro Kabaddi Dream Team, it was bound to be a special unit filled to the brim with talent.

Manjeet picked himself to play as the Left Cover and here are his remaining six picks:

Cover �?Surjeet Singh

With himself slotted in the Left Cover position, Manjeet opted for Surjeet Singh to partner him as the Right Cover in his team.

A stalwart of Indian kabaddi, Surjeet is one of the finest Cover defenders in the Pro Kabaddi league. The Puneri Paltan skipper is the highest-scoring Cover defender in league history and is also the only Cover defender to feature in the top 10 tackle point-scorers in PKL history (Manjeet Chhillar is also a Cover defender that is in the top 10 tackle point-scorers, however, he started and played a large chunk of his career as a Corner defender).

Corners �?Ravinder Pahal and Joginder Narwal

For the two Corner slots, Manjeet picked Dabang Delhi duo Ravinder Pahal and Joginder Narwal.

Right Corner Pahal has been ever-present in the Pro Kabaddi League and is a former Best Defender Award winner, finishing as the league's leading tackle point-scorer in Season 2. The Hawk, as he is fondly known, has scored 326 tackle points in his Pro Kabaddi career, trailing only Manjeet, who leads the league with 339.

A terrific leader, a respected figure and a stellar Left Corner, Joginder Narwal may be in the twilight of his career as a player but still continues to be an extremely reliable defender in the toughest defensive position in kabaddi. Joginder has scored 173 tackle points in his PKL career, which ranks just outside the top 20 in league history.

Raiders �?Vikash Kandola, Pawan Sehrawat and Pardeep Narwal

For the three raiding spots in the team, Manjeet picked Haryana Steelers' Vikash Kandola, Bengaluru Bulls' Pawan Sehrawat and Patna Pirates' Pardeep Narwal.

After two seasons of playing an excellent backup raider, Haryana Steelers promoted Vikash Kandola to lead the team’s raiding unit in Season 7 and the youngster did not disappoint, scoring 190 raid points in 20 matches, which included 11 Super 10s, the fourth-most in the league. Kandola is one of the rising stars in the PKL and it comes as little surprise that Manjeet picked up this wily raider to be the third-choice in his team.

In Sehrawat and Narwal, Manjeet picked two raiders that have scored a combined 1842 raid points, 90 Super 10s, 79 Super Raids and won three best Raider Awards, three MVPs and four PKL titles.

The duo are by far the two best and most accomplished raiders in PKL history and it truly was a no-brainer for Manjeet to pick them in his Dream Team.

A World Cup winner, an Asian Games gold medallist and a recipient of the prestigious Padma Shri Award, raider Ajay Thakur has had a stellar career that continues to go from strength-to-strength even in his mid-30s.

Thakur has been part of the Indian kabaddi team for well over a decade and has played with or against the finest kabaddi players the nation has ever produced.

With a list of teammates so stellar, picking just seven players in his Dream Team was a huge ask for Thakur. So big, that he omitted himself from the team. Still, he managed to pick seven players that would make his Dream Team and it’s a team laced with Arjuna Awardees and World Champions.

Corners �?Dharmaraj Cheralathan and Joginder Singh

For the Left Corner spot, Thakur chose Dabang Delhi captain Joginder Singh.

The veteran has been a mainstay in the Pro Kabaddi since the inaugural season and scored 173 tackle points in 82 matches in Pro Kabaddi League. The veteran has been captain of Dabang Delhi for the past two campaigns and ended their playoff drought, leading them to the Pro Kabaddi League final in Season 7.

On the right flank, the former Indian skipper picked Dharmaraj Cheralathan.

The Haryana Steelers skipper led Patna Pirates to the title in Season 4 and has been one of the most consistent defenders in league history. ‘Anna�? as he is fondly known, was Thakur’s teammate during his time with the Bengaluru Bulls. Cheralathan is one of only eight defenders with over 250 tackle points in Pro Kabaddi league history.

Covers �?Pankaj Shirsat and Manjeet Chhillar

The Left Cover slot was a no-brainer, as Thakur picked friend and longtime teammate Manjeet Chhillar in that position.

Pro Kabaddi's all-time leading tackle point scorer with 339, Manjeet is a former league MVP and two-time winner of the league’s Best Defender Award. The veteran captained Thakur in the past and played under his tutelage at Tamil Thalaivas. A player worthy of kabaddi's Hall of Fame, if there ever was one.

For the Right Cover position, Thakur went for a player from the pre-Pro Kabaddi era of the sport in India, legend Pankaj Shirsat.

Shirsat, a police official like Thakur, played the majority of his career for Maharashtra and Air India and was the captain of the Indian team that won the 2007 World Cup. Shirsat, like Manjeet and Thakur, is a recipient of the Arjuna Award.

Raiders �?Anup Kumar, Rakesh Kumar and Dinesh Kumar

For the three raiders in the team, Thakur picked current Puneri Paltan coach Anup Kumar, current Haryana Steelers coach Rakesh Kumar and former Pro Kabaddi star Dinesh Kumar.

Anup Kumar, the first bonafide star of the Pro Kabaddi league, led U Mumba to three straight finals in the first three seasons of the Pro Kabaddi league, leading them to the title in Season 2. Anup was the first player to be named the league’s MVP and is still among the top 10 scorers in Pro Kabaddi history.

Anup's great friend and a legend of the sport, Rakesh Kumar was Thakur's second pick in the raiding unit. Part of the Patna Pirates in the first two seasons and U Mumba in Season 3, Rakesh was one of the most complete players of his generation. Rakesh has won multiple gold medals with India at continental competitions and scored 260 points in the Pro Kabaddi in 55 matches.

The final player Ajay picked is raider Dinesh Kumar, another who played his best kabaddi before the inception of the Pro Kabaddi league.

A part of India's World Cup-winning squad from 2007, Dinesh was a quality raider who was also bestowed with the Arjuna Award following that win. Dinesh played eight matches in Season 2 of the Pro Kabaddi league for the Bengal Warriors, scoring 19 points.

In a sport where raiders often grab the limelight, Manjeet Chhillar stands out on his own as one of the finest all-rounders that kabaddi has seen. The leading Tackle Points scorer (339) in Pro Kabaddi history, Manjeet has a total of 563 PKL points and has enjoyed plenty of success in his career. An Arjuna Award recipient and Pro Kabaddi’s Most Valuable Player (MVP) in Season 2, Manjeet has also won the 2016 Kabaddi World Cup and the 2018 Dubai Kabaddi Masters with India. What sets him apart from the rest is his ability to contribute at both ends of the mat and even though he’s been on the wane in the past few seasons, here we have a look at his best Pro Kabaddi performances.

Dabang Delhi K.C. VS Bengaluru Bulls, Match 2 (PKL 1) - 15 points

Manjeet’s best Pro Kabaddi performance in terms of points came in just the second match of the inaugural season when everybody first got a glimpse of what the all-rounder known as the on-man machine was capable of doing. While taking on Dabang Delhi K.C. in Bengaluru Bulls�?colours, Manjeet produced a masterful display that saw him finish the match with a total of 15 points to help his team register a 42-28 win. His all-round ability was evident for all to see in the game as finished with a Super 10 courtesy 10 raid points as well as a High 5 for five tackle points in defence.

Puneri Paltan VS Bengaluru Bulls, Match 16 (PKL 1) - 15 points

Dabang Delhi K.C. weren’t the only team to come up on the wrong end of an unstoppable Manjeet. Puneri Paltan �?a team he would go on to represent in the future �?were also given a first-hand exhibition of what he’s capable of. Even though Bengaluru Bulls went on to lose the game, Manjeet could hold his head high following another clinical showing at either end of the mat. He finished the match with four tackle points and a Super 10 �?10 touch and 1 bonus points �?as Pune edged Bengaluru 31-30 in a close contest.

Bengal Warriors VS Puneri Paltan, Match 15 (PKL 3) - 13 points

His 13-point effort in Season 3 for Puneri Paltan, which went in vain as Bengal Warriors won the contest 33-28, was another outstanding all-round display by Manjeet. He tried to grab the match by the scruff of the neck and managed to do well to a certain degree in a team that also featured the likes of Ajay Thakur and Deepak Hooda. The lack of support from his teammates was a major reason behind the loss as he finished the match with six raid points �?three touch as well as three bonuses �?and also bagged a High 5 with seven tackle points, including three Super Tackles.

Puneri Paltan VS Jaipur Pink Panthers, Match 24 (PKL 3) - 13 points

Nine matches later in Season 3, Manjeet was delivering another inspiring effort on the mat for Puneri Paltan and this time, with the help of teammate Thakur, scorer of 11 raid points in the encounter, managed to play out a 32-32 tie against Season 1 champions Jaipur Pink Panthers. Manjeet, though, was once again the team’s talisman and led from the front with 13 points. He picked up another High 5 for his display, having finished the contest with seven Tackle Points and also managed six touch points while raiding.

Puneri Paltan VS Bengaluru Bulls, Match 55 (PKL 4) - 11 points

Manjeet has enjoyed plenty of 11-point efforts in Pro Kabaddi over the years but perhaps the most memorable of those came while he was representing Puneri Paltan against his former side Bengaluru Bulls in Season 4. He led Puneri Paltan to a 36-33 win and top-scored in the match with 11 points that ultimately proved to be the difference between the teams. Unlike most of his 11-point displays, this time, Manjeet relied solely on his defensive attributes as he nursed an injury. He attempted 12 tackles on the night and was successful with 11 Tackle Points in what was a match-winning display.

A sturdy built and inherent strength are two of the strongest traits that make a defender unstoppable. Whether it’s a dash across the mat or an ankle hold, a defender needs to identify the weaknesses of the opponent raider in a quick glance and pounce on the opportunity.

Given the agility of the raiders these days, scoring five or more tackle points by a single player is a remarkable feat and a tough task for any defender. Thus, getting a High 5 in a match is a coveted aim for any defender in the Pro Kabaddi circuit.

Here we take a look at the top three defenders who led the all-time High 5 tally prior to the start of season seven.

Manjeet Chhillar (21)

An epitome of strength and resilience, Manjeet Chhillar has been the most prolific defender in the league since its inception. His ability to withhold raiders with his signature ‘Block�?has been the biggest weapon in his armoury. He racked up 121 tackles, his career-best, in the sixth season with Tamil Thalaivas.

Chhillar ne jeet liya man!

As the One-Man Army scores his first High 5 of the season, will Manjeet Chhillar and the rest of the @tamilthalaivas take this match home? #UPvCHE

�?ProKabaddi (@ProKabaddi) November 2, 2018

Manjeet is a true all-rounder as he posted a phenomenal record of successfully completing 40.11% raids in the inaugural season of the league. But his niche lies in defence where he can tackle the opposition with ease. Having 21 High 5s to his name is a feat only few would envision and Manjeet has pulled that off with conviction. He is playing for

PO Surjeet Singh (20)

Surjeet Singh only came on the roster of Pro Kabaddi in the third season. He broke into the eyes of many only in the fifth season when he completed nine High 5’s and cemented his place with the Bengal Warriors, who retained him for the subsequent season. His stint with the Warriors was a success as Singh earned 130 tackle points in just 47 matches across two seasons.

Singh has mastered the art of surprising the opponent with a sudden dash throwing the raider out of bounds. Playing for Puneri Paltan in the ongoing season seven, Singh has been their key man in the defensive line.

Ravinder Pahal (20)

Playing in his fifth Pro Kabaddi season, Dabang Delhi’s Ravinder Pahal is arguably one of the most successful defenders in the league. Pahal has been triumphant in completing 20 High 5’s till the sixth season as he has been carefully guarding the right corner of his team. His most notable performances came in the fifth season when he crossed the 50-tackle point for the second time in the league.

The diving thigh-hold specialist also posted a 51.38% tackle strike rate in the fourth season for the Puneri Paltan which till date remains his best strike rate for a season.

As the saying goes, “Attack wins you matches while the defence will get you titles.�?This formula has been tried and tested in sports across the world where teams spend millions to strengthen their defence and fight for glory. Similarly, after the ascent of Pro Kabaddi in the past few years, the team owners have started investing in defenders heavily in order to tackle the agile and overnumbered raiders.

From their sturdy built to their gripping hold, few of these defenders have instilled a sense of fear in the minds of the raiders. Here we list the top five defenders who have risen to the top in the league over the years.

Mohit Chhillar

Hailing from Nizampur, Haryana, Mohit Chhillar has built a diversified portfolio in PKL over the years. The versatile defender has played for U Mumba, Jaipur Pink Panthers, Bengaluru Bulls and Haryana Steelers over the span of seven seasons successfully leading the charge in defence. Currently involved with Tamil Thalaivas in the seventh season, Mohit’s signature move is the diving thigh hold which completely surprises the raiders at times.

�?U Mumba (@U_Mumba) September 4, 2019

He was a crucial member of the Indian team in the 2016 Kabaddi World Cup and had completed 220 successful tackles up to PKL season six.

Ravinder Pahal

Having played mostly for Dabang Delhi in PKL, Ravinder Pahal was the best defender in the second season picking up 64 points from 14 matches. Pahal slowly built a solid reputation for his abilities to corner opponents. He occupies the right corner of the defensive line for Delhi and has an uncanny ability to quickly grab the ankle or thighs of the raiders.  

Fazel Atrachali

To have played in four PKL finals is a testament to his ability to counter any successful raid. The Iranian defender was instrumental in helping Patna Pirates lift the title back in 2016. His signature move is the dash which usually throws the defender off his guard as he is unable to stand his ground.

His exploits with Patna Pirates convinced Gujarat Fortunegiants to secure his services for season five. Next season, he went on to register a record 83 tackle points to his name as a part of U Mumba, something he would want to replicate in season seven as well.

Sandeep Narwal

A true all-rounder in every sense of the word, Sandeep Narwal spent his first three seasons with Patna Pirates. Although he started his career as a part of the defence line up but he worked his way through to become a successful raider as well. He garnered 92 raid points in the inaugural season of PKL denoting his ability to lead raids.

�?U Mumba (@U_Mumba) September 4, 2019

Playing for U Mumba in the ongoing season, Sandeep is tipped to be one of the top performers for his team.

Manjeet Chhillar

Manjeet Chhillar’s journey from wrestling to Kabaddi has been an exciting one, to say the least. Adjudged as the Most Valuable Player for his all-round performance in the second season, Manjeet has never looked back since.

�?Puneri Paltan (@PuneriPaltan) April 22, 2017

Leading the table for the most successful tackles in the league, the player from Haryana has unparalleled strength to withhold the strongest of raiders. Tamil Thalaivas success will heavily ride on him in the seventh season.
