List Of Top 5 Players With Most Tackle Points In Pro Kabaddi League's History
Here is a list of top 5 players with most tackle points in Pro Kabaddi League's history after Fazel Atrachali crossed the historic 450-point mark.
Pro Kabaddi League Season 10: Gujarat Giants' defender Fazel Atrachali scripted history on Tuesday, January 2, as he became the first player ever to record 450+ points in Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) since its inception. The Iranian reached the mark during the match against Dabang Delhi K.C. in Match 53 of the Pro Kabaddi League Season 10. The 450th tackle point came near the end of the first half when he tackled Delhi's star raider Ashu Malik. However, his 3 tackle points couldn't do much as Delhi bounced back on the back of excellent raiding from Ashu Malik and Manjeet.
Fazel Atrachali is a legend of the sport and is labelled as 'Sultan' by his fans all over the world. He continues to be in fine form as he has registered 28 tackle points this season. The Iranian is a two-time PKL winner with former sides U Mumba in Season 2, and Patna Pirates in Season 4 and still remains the only player to cross the 400-point mark in the competition's history, let alone the 450-point mark.
Here is the list of top 5 players with the most tackle points in Pro Kabaddi League's history:
- Fazel Atrachali: The 'Sultan' sits atop with 452 points in 156 matches and has previously represented U Mumba, Patna Pirates, Puneri Paltan, and current side Gujarat Giants back in 2017.
- Manjeet Chillar: The former Indian captain is a legend of the sport and has 391 points in 132 matches. He won the title in his very last season, with Dabang Delhi K.C. in Season 8.
- Surjeet Singh: The current Bengaluru Bulls player has 374 points in 137 matches and the Indian player can potentially leap ahead of Manjeet Chillar in the coming matches.
- Girish Maruti Ernak: The current U Mumba player has 360 points in 146 matches and he, too, is running in contention and in competition with Surjeet Singh to become the first Indian player ever to record 400 tackle points in PKL's history.
- Sandeep Narwal: The renowned former Indian player has 360 points in 156 matches. He is fondly remembered during his time in Patna Pirates when he guided them to their first title in PKL Season 3.
