Top 5 Raiders of Pro Kabaddi League 2025
The battle for the Best Raider of PKL 2025 is far from over. While Devank Dalal currently leads the chart by a massive margin, players like Arjun Deshwal, Ashu Malik, and Ayan Lohchab are still in the race, especially with the league heading into its crucial final phase.
| Rank | Player Name | Team | Matches | Raid Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Devank Dalal | Bengal Warriorz | 12 | 207 |
| 2 | Arjun Deshwal | Tamil Thalaivas | 14 | 159 |
| 3 | Ashu Malik | Dabang Delhi | 12 | 146 |
| 4 | Ayan Lohchab | Patna Pirates | 11 | 135 |
| 5 | Bharat Hooda | Telugu Titans | 13 | 120 |
1. Devank Dalal (Bengal Warriorz) – 207 Raid Points in 12 Matches
The undisputed king of raiding this season, Devank Dalal, has taken the kabaddi mat by storm. Playing for Bengal Warriorz, Devank has already amassed a jaw-dropping 207 raid points from just 12 matches – a feat that puts him miles ahead of the competition.
What’s more impressive is his consistency and ability to perform under pressure. In his last 4 matches alone, Devank has scored 20+ raid points in each game, becoming the first player in PKL history to achieve this unique milestone.
Earlier in the season, Devank etched his name in the record books by becoming the fastest player to reach 500 raid points in PKL history. With 513 total raid points from just 43 matches, he is now among the Top 30 raiders in PKL all-time history – and he’s just getting started!
Despite his sensational form, his team Bengal Warriorz hasn’t had the best season, sitting at 11th place in the points table with just 4 wins out of 12 matches.
2. Arjun Deshwal (Tamil Thalaivas) – 159 Raid Points in 14 Matches
At number two is the ever-reliable Arjun Deshwal, who leads the raiding department for Tamil Thalaivas. Arjun has scored 159 raid points in 14 matches, showing his trademark footwork, quick reflexes, and ability to earn points in do-or-die situations.
Though Arjun has played two more matches than Devank, there remains a significant 48-point gap between the two – highlighting Devank’s sheer dominance this season.
Still, Arjun’s experience and leadership are vital for Thalaivas, especially in crunch situations as they push for a playoff spot.
3. Ashu Malik (Dabang Delhi) – 146 Raid Points in 12 Matches
Next on the list is Dabang Delhi’s skipper Ashu Malik, who has been leading from the front this season. Despite struggling with an injury, Ashu has managed to score 146 raid points in 12 matches, making him the third-highest raider of PKL 2025.
Ashu’s raiding style is aggressive yet smart – often catching defenders off guard. If he returns fully fit in the remaining matches, expect him to close the gap with Arjun and even push further up.
4. Ayan Lohchab (Patna Pirates) – 135 Raid Points in 11 Matches
A rising star in PKL 2025, Ayan Lohchab has quickly made his mark with some powerful performances for Patna Pirates. With 135 raid points in 11 games, Ayan is not only consistent but also incredibly efficient.
His performances have been a major reason behind Patna Pirates’ competitive outings this season. With more games in hand, Ayan has the potential to climb even higher in the top raiders’ chart.
5. Bharat Hooda (Telugu Titans) – 120 Raid Points in 13 Matches
Rounding off the top 5 is Bharat Hooda from Telugu Titans, who has been one of the few bright spots in an otherwise tough season for the team. With 120 raid points from 13 matches, Bharat has shown his skill and composure on the mat.
While Telugu Titans haven’t been in top form as a team, Bharat’s individual brilliance offers hope for the rest of the season and beyond.
As the playoffs approach, every raid and every point will matter more than ever. Stay tuned for more updates as the Pro Kabaddi League 2025 continues to deliver thrilling action week after week!
