Pro Kabaddi League Season 12 is on fire, and one man is holding the torch. Bengal Warriorz’s Devank Dalal just did the unthinkable, becoming the fastest player in PKL history to smash the 500 raid points milestone, reaching it in just 43 matches. Yeah, you read that right.
Key Takeaways
- Devank Dalal is the fastest player to 500 raid points in PKL history (43 matches).
- He has already scored over 200 raid points in Season 12.
- Dalal holds a stunning record of 12 consecutive Super 10s in 12 games this season.
- Despite his heroics, Bengal Warriorz recently lost heavily to U Mumba, 48-29.
- The chasing pack includes Arjun Deshwal (153 points) and Ashu Malik (146 points).
The Devank Dalal Show
Look, we’re witnessing something special this season. Since PKL 12 kicked off on August 29, 2025, Dalal has been on another level. It’s not just the historic 500-point record. The man just scored his 12th consecutive Super 10 in as many games after the October 10 match against U Mumba. That’s a level of consistency that’s just unheard of. He’s already blown past the 200-raid-point mark for this season alone.
But honestly, what does it mean to be a one-man army? That’s the real question everyone is asking. His individual brilliance is undeniable, but kabaddi is a team sport.
Can One Man Win the Trophy?
Here’s the thing. Despite Dalal’s superhuman efforts, the Bengal Warriorz are having a rollercoaster of a season. They secured a nail-biting 37-36 victory over Dabang Delhi K.C. on October 9. Just one day later, they were completely thrashed 48-29 by U Mumba. In that same match where Dalal scored another Super 10, his team just couldn’t back him up.

It proves that even with the best raider in the league, you need a solid defense and support. U Mumba’s Ajit Chouhan and Sandeep both delivered Super 10s in that match, showing what a balanced team effort looks like.
The Chasing Pack Heats Up
And while Dalal is breaking records, he can’t afford to get comfortable. The competition is fierce. Tamil Thalaivas’ Arjun Deshwal is right there with 153 raid points from 13 matches. Dabang Delhi’s Ashu Malik isn’t far behind with 146 points from 12 games.
Then you’ve got young guns like Patna Pirates’ Ayan Lohchab, who pulled off a stunning 4-point Super Raid on October 8 and has 135 raid points. Bharat Hooda of UP Yoddhas is also in the mix with 120 points. The race for the top raider spot is far from over.
What This Means for the Playoffs
This season’s new format, with its play-ins and tie-breakers, means every single match counts. There are no draws. You win or you lose. For teams like the Bengaluru Bulls, who just crushed Jaipur Pink Panthers 47-26, that momentum is everything. That match even saw Alireza Mirzaian hit his first 100 PKL raid points.
So, can Devank Dalal single-handedly drag the Bengal Warriorz into the new playoff system? Or will the more balanced teams like Puneri Paltan, who recently beat U Mumba 37-27, dominate in the end? Let us know what you think!
