Teams With the Most All-Outs Inflicted in PKL Season 12

There is no bigger statement in kabaddi than an all-out. It happens when every single player on one team has been sent off the mat at the same time, handing the opposition two bonus points and total control of that passage of play. What makes an all-out interesting is that it is not just a defensive stat. A team can inflict one by tackling every raider out, but a raider on a hot streak can just as easily wipe out an entire defence, touching player after player until none are left.

1. Puneri Paltan - 39 All-Outs Inflicted (21 matches)

Puneri Paltan topped the league table in Season 12, and their all-out count is one of the clearest signs of just how complete a team they were. Across 21 matches, they found ways to finish opponents off from both ends of the mat.

Their 39 All-Outs Inflicted were the most in the league, earning them 78 bonus points. A lot of that came from a defence built around Gaurav Khatri, who finished the season with 62 tackle points, but their raiders played their part too. Aditya Shinde chipped in with 159 raid points across the season, and it was often his and his fellow raiders’ ability to keep chaining points together that left opposition defences with nowhere to hide.

For Puneri Paltan, this number reflects a team that could win the same passage of play in two different ways. Whether it was Gaurav Khatri’s defence tackling raiders out one by one or the raiding unit picking off defenders in a single blistering raid, Puneri Paltan had the tools to force an all-out from either side of the ball.

2. Patna Pirates - 35 All-Outs Inflicted (22 matches)

Patna Pirates played more matches than any other team in the top five, 22 in total, and still finished with the second-highest all-out count in the league. Their season did not end the way they wanted, but this number shows a team that was never short of a way to seize control of a match.

Their 35 All-Outs Inflicted brought 70 bonus points. Some of that came from a defence anchored by Navdeep, the league’s leading tackle-point scorer with 73 for the season, but plenty of it also came from the raiding end, where Ayan Lohchab topped the entire league with 316 raid points. A raider that prolific is more than capable of clearing out a defence on his own, and Patna Pirates leaned on exactly that all season.

Patna Pirates’ all-out tally is really a story of two very different players. Navdeep gave them the defensive foundation to shut raiders down, while Ayan Lohchab gave them the raiding firepower to do the same to opposition defences, and together they made Patna Pirates a team capable of an all-out from either side of the mat.

3. Haryana Steelers - 31 All-Outs Inflicted (19 matches)

Haryana Steelers needed the fewest matches of any team in the top five to reach their all-out tally, doing it in just 19 games. For the defending champions, that efficiency ran through both their attack and their defence.

Their 31 All-Outs Inflicted brought 62 bonus points. Defensively, Jaideep Dahiya led the way with a league-best 13 Super Tackles, but their raiding unit mattered just as much. Shivam Patare scored 155 raid points across the season, and it was raids like his that could just as easily leave an opposition defence with nobody left on the mat.

Haryana Steelers built their title-winning campaign on a team that could finish teams off from either end. Jaideep Dahiya’s defence and Shivam Patare’s raiding gave them two separate routes to the same result, and that balance was a big part of why they were champions.

4. Dabang Delhi K.C. - 30 All-Outs Inflicted (20 matches)

Dabang Delhi K.C. went on to win the PKL Season 12 title, and their all-out numbers tell a story of a team that could hurt opponents in more than one way. Across 20 matches, both their raiding unit and their defence found ways to take total control of a passage of play.

Their 30 All-Outs Inflicted earned them 60 bonus points. Captain Ashu Malik led their raiding threat with 152 raid points, the kind of form that can leave a defence with no players left on the mat in a single sequence. Their raiding unit as a whole also posted 19 Super Raids, the most of any team in the league, which shows just how often Dabang Delhi’s raiders were breaking through in numbers rather than picking up points one at a time.

For a champion team, having two separate ways to close out a match is invaluable. Dabang Delhi K.C.’s all-out count shows a side that never relied on just one method, whether that was Ashu Malik finishing a raid in style or their defenders holding firm when it mattered.

5. Bengaluru Bulls - 28 All-Outs Inflicted (20 matches)

Bengaluru Bulls round out the top five, level with Telugu Titans on 28 All-Outs Inflicted, but Bengaluru take the fifth spot here having needed one fewer match to get there, 20 compared to Telugu Titans’ 21.

Their 28 All-Outs Inflicted brought 56 bonus points, and came from a team that improved at both ends of the game in Season 12. Deepak Sankar was among their most consistent defenders with 64 tackle points, while Alireza Mirzaian gave them a genuine raiding threat with 197 raid points, more than enough to trouble a defence on his own on a good night.

This was one of Bengaluru Bulls’ stronger all-round seasons in recent years, and their all-out numbers reflect that. With Deepak Sankar shoring up the defence and Alireza Mirzaian doing damage as a raider, Bengaluru Bulls had the balance to force All-Outs from either side of the mat.

What is an all-out in Kabaddi?

An all-out happens when every player from one team is out at the same time, leaving that side with no players in play. It is awarded two bonus points and can happen in two different ways. A defending team can inflict one by tackling every raider out over the course of a match, but a raider can do the same thing from the other end, touching defender after defender until the whole defence has been sent off the mat. Either way, all the players return once their team’s next raid or defensive turn begins. It remains one of the most decisive plays in kabaddi, since it can instantly swing both the momentum and the scoreline.

Conclusion

Forcing an all-out is not just about having a great defence; it is about a team that can take total control of a match from either end, and Season 12’s top five - Puneri Paltan, Patna Pirates, Haryana Steelers, Dabang Delhi K.C. and Bengaluru Bulls - all showed exactly that. Whether it was a defender like Jaideep Dahiya shutting raiders down or a raider like Ayan Lohchab clearing out an entire defence on his own, this season was a reminder that in kabaddi, an all-out can shift the momentum of a game completely.
