When Pardeep Narwal scored eight points in a single raid for Patna Pirates in PKL 2017
Pardeep Narwal, also known as the "Record Breaker" in the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL), has set multiple records over his prolific career. One moment stands out among his most memorable feats: his historic eight-point raid for the Patna Pirates during PKL Season 5 in 2017. This extraordinary performance is considered one of the most thrilling moments in PKL history.
In the 2017 season, Pardeep took on captaincy duties for the Patna Pirates, a team he had already led to consecutive titles in Seasons 3 and 4. In the high-stakes Eliminator 2 against Haryana Steelers, Pardeep was at his very best, leading Patna to a dominant 69-30 victory.
Not only did he outscore Haryana's entire team with his 34 raid points, but he also set a record for the most raid points in a single game. Pawan Sehrawat later broke that record.
The highlight of that match was undoubtedly Pardeep's sensational eight-point raid, a move that’s often remembered as one of the greatest in PKL. Facing a strong six-man Haryana defense, Pardeep executed his iconic dubki.
His eight-point raid included six touchpoints and two points for inflicting an all-out. Moving with precision, Pardeep dodged defenders from both the left and right corners, eventually reaching the midline in a manner that left fans and opponents alike in awe.
Words don’t do justice to the aura of that raid. Watch the video below:
