In the Pro Kabaddi League, the raider is the showman. He walks alone into opposition territory, takes on a wall of defenders, and is expected to come back with points. When a raider does this again and again in a single match, he earns the most prized individual feat in the raiding game - a Super 10. Scoring 10 or more raid points in one match is the clearest sign that a raider has single-handedly carried his team’s attack and bent the contest in their favour.
Over the years, only a special group of raiders have turned the Super 10 into a habit. In this article, we look at the five players with the most Super 10s in PKL history - a list led by the legendary Pardeep Narwal. We will also break down exactly what a Super 10 is, and back up these names with their staggering career raid-point numbers.
A Super 10 is achieved when a single raider scores 10 or more raid points in one match. Those points can come from touch points (tagging one or more defenders and returning safely to their half) or bonus points (crossing the bonus line when six or more defenders are on the mat), but team-awarded technical points do not count towards it. In simple terms, the raider himself has to earn all 10.
The Super 10 is the raider’s version of a defender’s High 5 - the crowning individual glory for an attacker. It is a benchmark of consistency and big-match temperament, because reaching double digits means staying on the mat, surviving do-or-die raids, and constantly finding new ways to outfox the defence. When a single player manages both a Super 10 and a High 5 in the same game, it is celebrated as a rare “Double”. The players below have not just touched this mark once or twice - they have made it a regular feature of their careers.
Sitting right at the top of the list is the “Dubki King” Pardeep Narwal, with a staggering 88 Super 10s - a record that towers over the rest of the field. Pardeep redefined what a raider could be, turning solo raids into highlight reels with his trademark dubki (dive). He rose to fame with the Patna Pirates, leading them to three consecutive PKL titles, before later spells that included UP Yoddhas and, finally, the Bengaluru Bulls. His career, fittingly, came full circle, having both begun and ended in Bengaluru colours.
The raw numbers behind those Super 10s are jaw-dropping. Across 190 matches, Pardeep amassed 1,801 raid points - the most by any player in PKL history. Season 5 alone saw him pile up 369 raid points, still the most ever in a single campaign, and he remains the first raider to cross the 1,000-point milestone. With Super 10s coming at a rate few could match, he was the player every defence feared and game-planned for.
In 2025, Pardeep announced his retirement after a glittering career, bowing out as the greatest raider the league has seen. His blend of skill, calm under pressure and sheer match-winning ability set the template for the modern raider. Even now retired, his 88 Super 10s stand as a mountain that every aspiring raider in the PKL will be chasing for years to come.
Next on the list is the “Mighty” Maninder Singh, currently with the Patna Pirates, who has chalked up 80 Super 10s. Maninder first announced himself in the very first season, playing a key role in Jaipur Pink Panthers’ inaugural title triumph. After an injury-hit middle period, he reinvented himself at the Bengal Warriorz, where he produced the bulk of his best raiding and became the face of the franchise, before moving on to lead Patna’s attack.
His consistency is reflected in 1,568 raid points across 165 matches, the second-highest raid tally in league history. Maninder has long been known for shouldering his team’s entire raiding load, famously once scoring all of his side’s raid points in a single game. That ability to keep delivering 10-point hauls season after season is exactly why his Super 10 count sits so high.
More than the numbers, Maninder represents longevity and reliability at the highest level. He has remained a go-to raider for over a decade, guiding Bengal to a maiden PKL title and continuing to be a captain and senior figure his teams lean on. With plenty of kabaddi still left in him, the gap between Maninder and the retired Pardeep is one of the most intriguing storylines in the league.
In third place is Arjun Deshwal, now turning out for the Tamil Thalaivas, with 74 Super 10s to his name. Arjun produced the best raiding of his career with the Jaipur Pink Panthers, where his fearless running attack and sharp bonus-point sense made him one of the most feared raiders of his generation and helped power a title-winning campaign.
His tally of 1,383 raid points in just 132 matches is remarkable - a strike rate that underlines how quickly he piles up points whenever he is on the mat. Fewer matches than the men above him, yet a Super 10 haul that puts him firmly among the all-time greats, shows just how explosive Arjun can be on his day.
What makes Arjun special is his ability to stay aggressive even under pressure, repeatedly hitting double figures against strong defensive units. As one of the brightest raiding talents in the league, and still in the prime of his career at the Thalaivas, he has both the time and the firepower to climb even higher up this list.
Fourth on the list is the “Hi-Flyer” Pawan Sehrawat, now with the Tamil Thalaivas, boasting 70 Super 10s. Pawan rose to fame with the Bengaluru Bulls, where his electric speed and trademark leaping raids made him a superstar and earned him an MVP-winning, title-charged campaign that lit up the league.
Across 142 matches, Pawan has gathered 1,340 raid points, a tally built on his trademark ability to break a match open in a matter of minutes. Once famous for scoring 30-plus points in a single game, he has always been a raider capable of turning an ordinary night into a record-breaking one, which is exactly how those Super 10s stacked up.
Listed here as an all-rounder, Pawan offers more than just raiding flair - he chips in defensively and brings star power wherever he goes. Injuries have tested him in recent seasons, but a fully fit Pawan remains one of the most dangerous attackers in world kabaddi and a threat to add many more Super 10s in the upcoming seasons.
Rounding off the top five is the “Naveen Express” Naveen Kumar, now with the Haryana Steelers, who has 66 Super 10s. Naveen had his best seasons with Dabang Delhi K.C., where as a teenager he tore through defences and helped fire the franchise to its golden era, becoming one of the most exciting young raiders the league has ever produced.
His 1,120 raid points in just 111 matches - the fewest games among everyone on this list - tell you everything about his scoring rate. At his peak, Naveen famously strung together a record run of consecutive Super 10s, and he still holds the record for the most Super 10s in a single season, proof of just how relentlessly he hit double figures.
Injuries have interrupted his rise, but Naveen’s blend of pace, power and big-match scoring keeps him among the elite. Now leading the line for the Haryana Steelers and still young by raiding standards, he has every chance to keep adding to his Super 10 tally and push further up this all-time list in the seasons to come.
The Super 10 is the ultimate stamp of a match-winning raider, and these five names - Pardeep Narwal, Maninder Singh, Arjun Deshwal, Pawan Sehrawat and Naveen Kumar - have made it their calling card more than anyone else in PKL history. From Pardeep’s untouchable record of 88 to Naveen’s incredible scoring rate, each has lit up the league by repeatedly walking into the opposite territory and coming back with double-digit hauls. With four of these stars still active, the race for the most Super 10s in PKL history promises plenty more drama in the years ahead.
