PKL 12: Devank Dalal Shatters Record with 500 Points in 43 Matches; Bengal Warriorz Still Lose

A record just shattered in Pro Kabaddi League Season 12, but not in the way you might think. Bengal Warriorz’s star raider, Devank Dalal, just became the fastest player in history to smash the 500 raid points milestone. He did it in a stunning 43 matches on October 11, 2025. But here’s the twist – his incredible personal victory came during a tough loss for his team against U Mumba.

Key Takeaways

  • Historic Record: Devank Dalal is now the fastest player in PKL history to reach 500 raid points, achieving it in only 43 matches.
  • Season Dominance: He leads the Season 12 raid points chart with a massive 207 points in just 12 games.
  • Unmatched Consistency: Dalal has also secured his 12th consecutive Super 10 this season, showing incredible form.
  • The Top Contenders: Arjun Deshwal (159 points) and Ashu Malik (146 points) are currently second and third in the race for the top raider spot.

Dalal’s Unstoppable Form

Look, what Devank Dalal is doing this season is just on another level. Since PKL Season 12 kicked off on August 29, 2025, he’s been a raiding machine. As of Match 78, he’s sitting comfortably at the top with 207 raid points. That’s from only 12 matches. It’s not just about the total points, though. It’s about consistency.

He just completed his 12th straight Super 10. For those who don’t follow closely, that means he’s scored 10 or more raid points in every single one of his last 12 games. That kind of performance is what separates the good players from the legends.

The Record-Breaking Moment

The big moment happened on October 11. During the match against U Mumba, Dalal crossed the 500 raid points mark for his PKL career. And he didn’t just cross it, he flew past it. Doing it in just 43 matches is a new league record, cementing his place in the history books. He’s been climbing the leaderboard all month, going from 181 points after Match 70 to his current 207.

This wasn’t a fluke. It was the result of relentless attacking, game after game. You could see the pressure building on opposing defenders every time he stepped up to raid.

A Bittersweet Victory

But honestly, here’s where the story gets complicated. While Dalal was busy etching his name into PKL history, his team, the Bengal Warriorz, couldn’t secure the win. They suffered a defeat at the hands of U Mumba. Can you imagine that? You achieve a career-defining milestone, a record that might stand for years, but you can’t even celebrate it with a team victory.

It really shows you that kabaddi is a team sport. One player’s brilliance, no matter how bright, can’t always guarantee a win. It’s a tough pill to swallow for the team and their fans.

Who’s Chasing Him?

While Dalal has a solid lead, the competition isn’t sleeping. Tamil Thalaivas’ Arjun Deshwal is in second place with a respectable 159 raid points from 14 matches. Right behind him is Dabang Delhi’s powerhouse, Ashu Malik, with 146 raid points in 12 matches. Ayan Lohchab of Patna Pirates (135 points) and Bharat Hooda of Telugu Titans (120 points) round out the top five.

The race for the best raider of Season 12 is far from over. But for now, everyone’s talking about Devank Dalal. What do you think? Can anyone catch him, or will he run away with the title?
