Pardeep Narwal Kabaddi career
Narwal
made his debut in VIVO Pro Kabaddi with the Bengaluru Bulls against
Patna Pirates in Season 2 and featured six times that campaign, scoring a
total of nine raid points.
Narwal moved to the Patna Pirates in
Season 3 and blossomed into one of the best raiders in the league. He
scored his first career Super 10 in the Pirates’ 29-25 victory over
Puneri Paltan in Kolkata, where he led both sides in scoring with 11
points on the night Alongside Rohit Kumar, Narwal formed the league’s
most potent raiding duo as the two combined to score 194 raid points in
the league stage of the campaign, with Kumar scoring 102 of those in 12
matches and Narwal scoring 92 raid points in 14 matches. Narwal scored
his fifth Super 10 of the season against Puneri Paltan in the semi-final
but missed on the final through injury. The Pirates, however, triumphed
over defending U Mumba by a scoreline of 31-28 and won their maiden
VIVO Pro Kabaddi title.
Following Rohit Kumar moves to the
Bengaluru Bulls, Pardeep took over the responsibility of being the
Pirates’ lead raider and enjoyed another sensational campaign, scoring
107 raid points in 14 league stage matches with four Super 10s, the
first of which came in narrow 36-34 win over U Mumba in Jaipur, where
the raider scored, a match-high, 18 points. Narwal continued to carry
the brunt of the raiding load in the playoffs and scored eight points in
the Pirates’ narrow 37-33 victory over Puneri Paltan in the semi-final,
taking them to their second-straight VIVO Pro Kabaddi final. In the
final against Jaipur Pink Panthers, Narwal unleashed a mammoth 16-point
performance leading the Pirates to their second VIVO Pro Kabaddi title
with a 37-29 victory and won their second VIVO Pro Kabaddi title in a
row.
Narwal’s third season with the Pirates was arguably the best
ever by a player VIVO Pro Kabaddi history, as the raider notched up 369
raid points and led the league in every raiding category. Narwal scored
a Super 10 in 19 off the 26 matches that he played in that campaign,
managing one in each of Patna Pirates’ first three matches. He followed
it up with just one in the subsequent four matches but after that
relatively lean patch, he embarked on a run of eight straight matches
with a Super 10 that eventually ended against the Tamil Thalaivas where
he fell just one point short of 10 raid points.
After finishing
second in the Zone B standing, Narwal and the Pirates battled Haryana
Steelers in the Playoffs, where the raider scored, a VIVO Pro Kabaddi
record, 34 raid points which included an eight-point raid, as the
Pirates routed the Steelers 69-30. In Eliminator 3, Narwal yet again led
by example, scoring 19 raid points in his team’s 42-32 win over Puneri
Paltan. In Qualifier 2, Narwal scored 23 raid points against the Bengal
Warriors in his team’s narrow 47-44 victory, helping the Pirates reach
their third straight VIVO Pro Kabaddi final. Narwal continued his
unbelievable form in the final, scoring 19 raid points against Gujarat
Fortunegiants to lead the Pirates to a 55-38 victory and capture their
third straight VIVO Pro Kabaddi title.
Narwal scored a Super 10
in each of his team’s first three matches in Season 6 before falling
short against the Telugu Titans. The next four matches also saw a
similar trend for Narwal, as he scored three straight Super 10s before
failing to do so against the same opponent in Patna. Narwal continued to
string along quality performances but the Pirates struggled for form
towards the latter end of the season and needed a big finish to their
campaign to stand a chance to qualify for the Playoffs. Narwal scored
three Super 10s in the Pirates final five matches of the season but the
team failed to register a single win and crashed out in the league stage
of the campaign for the first time in franchise history.
In
season 7, Narwal started slowly, but still became the first player to
reach 1,000 points in the PKL. Pardeep Narwal has featured regularly for
the Indian kabaddi team since 2016 and has won gold in three of the
four tournaments that he has played in.
