Pro Kabaddi League: Top three Raiders in PKL season nine
With the league phase of PKL Season nine coming to a close, the focus is on the best Raiders of the season
The Vivo Pro Kabaddi League, which runs from 7 October 2022 to 17 December 2022, has unearthed some unique talents and brought many young players to the fore. With the league phase of PKL Season nine complete, we take a look at the best Raiders this season.
1. Arjun Deshwal- The 23-year-old star Arjun, who joined the PKL via the U-Mumba team in Season six, moved to the Pink Panthers last season and has been irreplaceable since. Arjun is a natural chart-topper with 286 total points, a respectable not-out and a successful attacking percentage.
2. Bharat Naresh- Bharat is playing his second season in the PKL. His trademark is still the run with his hand, as he is the second player to cross the 250-point mark this season. This aggressive attacker, who plays on both the court's left and right sides, is in the spotlight.

3. Naveen Kumar- He is now playing for Dabang Delhi KC for the fourth consecutive season, and continues to be a reliable attacker for the team. His fast attacks and consistency have earned him the title of "Naveen Express". He was the quickest player to score 600 points in the league's history. He was instrumental in the team winning the trophy last season and was also named Most Valuable Player.
