Pardeep Narwal holds the record for the most raid points in a single Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) season. He scored 369 raid points for Patna Pirates in Season 5 (2017), playing 26 matches. No raider has surpassed that total through the end of Season 12 in 2025.
The record is particularly impressive because Narwal finished 23 points ahead of the next-highest single-season tally, Pawan Sehrawat’s 346 points in Season 7. Recent performances have brought new names into the 300-point club, but Narwal remains at the top.
This article covers the highest individual raid-point totals in PKL history, the top raiders from every season and the performances behind the biggest records.
Who Has the Most Raid Points in a Single PKL Season?
Pardeep Narwal holds the all-time record with 369 raid points in Season 5. He achieved this milestone while representing Patna Pirates in 2017.
Here are the key numbers from his record-breaking campaign:
| Record | Pardeep Narwal’s Achievement |
| Season | Season 5 |
| Year | 2017 |
| Team | Patna Pirates |
| Matches played | 26 |
| Raid points | 369 |
| Super 10s | 19 |
| Super raids | 18 |
Narwal dominated the season from the beginning. His ability to escape tackles, find gaps in defensive formations and collect points through multi-point raids made him one of the toughest players to stop.
He also helped Patna Pirates win the Season 5 title. His individual performance earned him the Most Valuable Player (MVP) and Best Raider awards.
According to the official PKL historical records, his 369 raid points remain the highest individual total in one season.
Top 10 Highest Raid Points in a Single PKL Season
Several raiders have crossed the 300-point mark in a single campaign. Pardeep Narwal, Pawan Sehrawat, Naveen Kumar, Devank Dalal and Ayan Lohchab have all reached this milestone.
The following table compares some of the highest individual season totals recorded in the league.
| Rank | Player | Season | Team | Raid Points |
| 1 | Pardeep Narwal | 5 | Patna Pirates | 369 |
| 2 | Pawan Sehrawat | 7 | Bengaluru Bulls | 346 |
| 3 | Ayan Lohchab | 12 | Patna Pirates | 316 |
| 4 | Pawan Sehrawat | 8 | Bengaluru Bulls | 304 |
| 5 | Pardeep Narwal | 7 | Patna Pirates | 302 |
| 6 | Naveen Kumar | 7 | Dabang Delhi K.C. | 301 |
| 6 | Devank Dalal | 11 | Patna Pirates | 301 |
| 8 | Arjun Deshwal | 9 | Jaipur Pink Panthers | 296 |
| 9 | Arjun Deshwal | 10 | Jaipur Pink Panthers | 276 |
| 9 | Ashu Malik | 10 | Dabang Delhi K.C. | 276 |
The rankings include ties. The table focuses on the biggest individual season performances rather than the number of different players.
Pawan Sehrawat appears twice among the top four. His 346 points in Season 7 and 304 points in Season 8 show how consistently he performed across consecutive campaigns.
Ayan Lohchab’s 316 points in Season 12 also deserve attention. He became the fifth player in PKL history to cross 300 raid points in one season.
Season-Wise Highest Raid Points in PKL
The league has produced different top raiders across its 12 completed seasons. Some players dominated for several years, while others reached the top through one exceptional campaign.
| PKL Season | Top Raider | Team | Raid Points |
| Season 1 | Anup Kumar | U Mumba | 155 |
| Season 2 | Kashiling Adake | Dabang Delhi K.C. | 114 |
| Season 3 | Pardeep Narwal | Patna Pirates | 116 |
| Season 4 | Rahul Chaudhari | Telugu Titans | 146 |
| Season 5 | Pardeep Narwal | Patna Pirates | 369 |
| Season 6 | Pawan Sehrawat | Bengaluru Bulls | 271 |
| Season 7 | Pawan Sehrawat | Bengaluru Bulls | 346 |
| Season 8 | Pawan Sehrawat | Bengaluru Bulls | 304 |
| Season 9 | Arjun Deshwal | Jaipur Pink Panthers | 296 |
| Season 10 | Arjun Deshwal and Ashu Malik | Jaipur Pink Panthers and Dabang Delhi K.C. | 276 each |
| Season 11 | Devank Dalal | Patna Pirates | 301 |
| Season 12 | Ayan Lohchab | Patna Pirates | 316 |
The table shows how the league’s attacking standards have changed. Early seasons had lower individual totals because teams played fewer matches. Later seasons provided more opportunities for leading raiders to build bigger numbers.
Season 7 was particularly memorable. Pawan Sehrawat, Pardeep Narwal and Naveen Kumar all crossed 300 raid points in the same campaign.
Pardeep Narwal: The Record-Breaking Season 5 Performance
Pardeep Narwal’s 369-point campaign remains the benchmark for every PKL raider.
His most effective weapon was the dubki. This technique allowed him to escape defenders by lowering his body and moving underneath their attempted tackles.
Narwal combined this skill with excellent timing and awareness. He could turn a difficult raid into a multi-point opportunity, even when defenders surrounded him.
His Season 5 performance included 19 Super 10s and 18 Super Raids. He also scored 34 points in a single match, setting a record at the time.
The achievement was not just about collecting raid points. Narwal helped Patna Pirates win their third consecutive PKL title and became the first player to win the MVP award twice.
His 369 points remain the highest single-season raid total in the league.
Pawan Sehrawat: Two Seasons Among the Biggest Records
Pawan Sehrawat is another major name in the discussion about the most raid points in a single PKL season.
He scored 346 points for Bengaluru Bulls in Season 7. That total remains the second-highest single-season tally in league history.
His attacking style relied on speed, strength and powerful running raids. He could take on several defenders and still find a way to return to his half.
Pawan followed his Season 7 performance with another outstanding campaign in Season 8. He scored 304 raid points and once again finished as the league’s leading raider.
His three consecutive seasons as the top raid-point scorer came in Seasons 6, 7 and 8.
| Season | Matches | Raid Points | Team |
| Season 6 | 24 | 271 | Bengaluru Bulls |
| Season 7 | 24 | 346 | Bengaluru Bulls |
| Season 8 | 24 | 304 | Bengaluru Bulls |
These performances make Pawan one of the most consistent high-scoring raiders in PKL history.
Ayan Lohchab: The Leading Raider of Season 12

Ayan Lohchab produced one of the strongest individual campaigns in recent PKL history.
Playing for Patna Pirates in Season 12, he scored 316 raid points in 22 matches. He also recorded 16 Super 10s and helped his team remain competitive throughout the season.
His ability to find bonus points and complete successful raids made him a constant threat to opposition defences.
Ayan’s 316 points placed him third on the list of the highest individual season totals. Only Pardeep Narwal and Pawan Sehrawat have produced bigger single-season totals.
Season 12 also produced an interesting performance from Devank Dalal. He scored 271 raid points in only 16 matches for Bengal Warriorz. His average of 16.94 raid points per match was higher than the best season averages of the other leading raiders in the historical comparison.
This shows why total points and scoring rate should be considered separately.
What Are Raid Points in Pro Kabaddi?
Raid points are the points a raider earns while entering the opposition’s half and attempting to score.
A raider can earn individual raid points in different ways:
- Touch points: A raider earns points by touching opposition defenders and getting them declared out.
- Bonus points: A raider can earn a bonus point by crossing the bonus line when the required number of defenders are on the mat.
- Multi-point raids: A raider can score multiple points in a single raid by touching more than one defender.
Raid points are different from total points. Total points include a player’s raid points and any tackle points they earn.
An All Out gives the team two additional points when all seven opposition players are eliminated. These are team points and are not added to an individual raider’s raid-point tally.
Can Anyone Break Pardeep Narwal’s PKL Record?
Pardeep Narwal’s record of 369 raid points is difficult to beat, but it is not impossible.
Pawan Sehrawat came closest with 346 points in Season 7. Ayan Lohchab also reached 316 in Season 12, showing that modern raiders can still produce huge totals.
A player generally needs three things to challenge the record:
- Consistent performances throughout the season.
- A large number of matches and raid opportunities.
- The ability to score points against strong defensive teams.
The number of matches matters. Narwal played 26 matches in Season 5, giving him more opportunities to build his total than players who appeared in fewer games.
PKL Season 13 has not taken place as of 6 November 2026. Recent reports indicate that the next season is likely to be held in June or July 2027. However, an official Season 13 schedule has not yet been announced. Therefore, Season 12 remains the latest completed edition for this record comparison.
Conclusion
Pardeep Narwal remains the record holder for the most raid points in a single PKL season. His 369 points for Patna Pirates in Season 5 are still unmatched.
Pawan Sehrawat’s 346 points in Season 7 and Ayan Lohchab’s 316 in Season 12 are among the closest challenges to that record.
With new raiders continuing to emerge, the record could eventually be broken. For now, Narwal’s Season 5 campaign remains the standard for individual raiding excellence in the Pro Kabaddi League.
