Speaking of Pardeep's Pro Kabaddi League career, he made his debut for the Bengaluru Bulls in Season 2. However, he was majorly used as a substitute raider by the Bulls and could not make much of an impact in his debut season.

Narwal rose to fame in Season 3 while playing under the captaincy of Manpreet Singh for the Patna Pirates. He starred in Patna's maiden championship win, scoring 121 points in 16 matches. Patna retained him for Season 4. Pardeep repaid the team owners' faith by scoring 133 points to guide Patna to another championship.

He became the team's captain in Season 5 and led the team from the front, scoring 369 points and ensuring Patna retain the trophy again. After two more seasons with Patna, Pardeep moved to UP Yoddhas in Season 8.

The star raider now has 1,404 raid points in his tally. It will be interesting to see if he can complete 1,500 raid points this year.
