PKL 12 is on Fire: Devank Dalal Smashes Records as the Playoff Race Heats Up!

Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 is getting intense, and one raider is absolutely stealing the show. Bengal Warriorz’s own Devank Dalal just became the first player this season to blast past the 200 raid points mark, setting a blistering pace for everyone else. As of October 11, 2025, the playoff picture is starting to get clearer, with one team already punching their ticket to the knockouts.

Key Takeaways

  • Devank Dalal’s Dominance: He leads all raiders with a massive 207 raid points in just 12 games, including 12 Super 10s.
  • Delhi on Top: Dabang Delhi K.C. currently holds the number one spot on the PKL 12 points table with 24 points.
  • Puneri Paltan Qualifies: With 22 points, Puneri Paltan is the first team to officially secure a spot in the PKL 12 playoffs.
  • The Chasing Pack: Arjun Deshwal (159 points) and Ashu Malik (146 points) are in a heated race for the top spots behind Dalal.
  • New Format, More Action: This season features a new playoff system where the top eight teams will qualify, and there are no draws.

The Man of the Moment: Devank Dalal

Look, you just can’t stop him. Devank Dalal has been a force of nature for the Bengal Warriorz. On October 10, during the match against U Mumba, he officially crossed that coveted 200-point threshold, bringing his total to a stunning 207 raid points. Think about that. We’re talking 12 games played, and he already has 12 Super 10s. That’s consistency on a whole other level. He’s not just leading; he’s creating a huge gap between himself and the rest of the competition.

Who’s Giving Chase?

But don’t think for a second that other raiders are just sitting back. The competition is fierce. Here’s how the top five stack up right now:

  • Arjun Deshwal (Tamil Thalaivas): He’s in second place with a solid 159 points from 13 games. He’s a constant threat on the mat.
  • Ashu Malik (Dabang Delhi): Right behind him is Delhi’s star with 146 points in 12 games. His performance is a big reason his team is at the top.
  • Ayan Lohchab (Patna Pirates): The Patna raider has quietly racked up 135 points in only 11 games. Super efficient.
  • Bharat Hooda (Telugu Titans): Rounding out the top five, Bharat has scored 120 raid points, including a massive 16-point game on October 8.

And while everyone’s eyes are on the raiders, let’s not forget the defenders. Nitesh Kumar of Tamil Thalaivas is leading that charge with 51 tackle points. Defense wins championships, right?
