Top Guns To Keep An Eye Out For in VIVO Pro Kabaddi 2021-22

1. Top Raider: Rahul Chaudhari

Rahul Chaudhari has been the most prolific raider at Pro Kabaddi since day 1. With the highest raid points (1,239) of all time, Chaudhari sits at the top of the pile in the Top Raiders list. How he doesn’t have a winner’s medal yet is a question for the analysts. But when it comes to awe-inspiring the audience and, at times, even the opponents with his dazzling moves, Chaudhari has won gold every season.

Will VIVO Pro Kabaddi Season VIII be the edition where Rahul Chaudhari achieves it all? What we do know is that he will give us some more of Super 10 performances like this one here.

2. Top Defender: Manjeet Chhillar

Manjeet Chhillar is the kind of player you bet everything on and don’t lose a dime. An all-rounder, Chhillar is as proficient in raiding as he is in tackling. Though, the glamour of raids might put his defensive skills under the radar, the numbers don’t lie. With 361 points under his belt, he tops the charts for most tackle points. Chhillar’s loyalties might have varied over the years, but at VIVO Pro Kabaddi Season VIII, he turns up in Dabang Delhi's colours.

3. Super Raids: Pardeep Narwal

Super Raid is when a player scores three or more points in a single raid. It is a difficult thing to achieve but the raiders in Pro Kabaddi have always been up for the challenge. And topping this challenge is UP Yoddha's Pardeep Narwal. The star of Pirates’ hat-trick season, Narwal is young and unabashed in his approach to the game. The ‘dubki’ king has managed to win his team valuable points and ended VIVO Pro Kabaddi Season V as the top raider. He also managed to make an epic, record-breaking 8-point raid against Haryana Steelers – watch it here. It is performances like that which have seen him stand at the top of the Super Raids list. Watch Pardeep Narwal at VIVO Pro Kabaddi Season VIII!

4. Super 10s: Maninder Singh

Accumulating 10 or more raid points in a match is a Super 10 performance. While Rahul Chaudhari and Pardeep Narwal have always been in the conversation, not too far behind is Maninder Singh. With 42 Super 10 performances under his belt, Singh is a raider that instils fear in opponents with this sublime style and intelligence.

5. Super Tackles: Sandeep Narwal

A successful tackle when the defending team has fewer than four players left on the field is deemed a Super Tackle. The bulldozer Sandeep Narwal, plying his trade for Dabang Delhi in VIVO Pro Kabaddi Season VIII, has made the most Super Tackles, 28, in Pro Kabaddi history. The defender has been a consistent performer and continues to be the backbone for any team he plays in.

6. High 5s: Manjeet Chhillar & Surjeet Singh

A High 5 performance is a coveted achievement for a defender. Scoring more than 5 raid points in a single match is a daunting task. Manjeet Chhillar and Surjeet Singh, though, have been doing it for years. Having had 29 and 23 such instances respectively, the two prolific players stand in the top two in this table. But will Surender Nada and Ravinder Pahal catch up with these players in VIVO Pro Kabaddi Season VIII? Watch the latest edition of VIVO Pro Kabaddi League to find out!
