Bengaluru Bulls released the most successful raider ahead of the PKL 12 auction
Pardeep Narwal is the most successful raider in Pro Kabaddi League‘s (PKL) history. With more than 1800 raid points under his belt, his experience and stature are unmatched. Bengaluru Bulls have released Narwal ahead of the season 12 auction, despite his mammoth record
The Dubki King, Pardeep Narwal, had a disastrous previous season. He scored a mere 111 raid points in 20 matches with an average of 5.55 points per match, marking his worst outing in any PKL season. Moreover, his captaincy didn’t impress either. The Bulls finished at the bottom of the table under Narwal’s leadership, which might be the reason the Bulls released him.

The biggest question facing all PKL teams is whether they will put their money on the out-of-form veteran star or not? Narwal’s stats in the PKL speak for him. He has scored 1801 points in 190 matches. Although his performance in the last two seasons has not been as he would have liked, he is confident that he can make a memorable comeback.
Let’s look at the teams that can buy Pardeep Narwal in the PKL 12 auction.
3. Patna Pirates
The Patna Pirates were the first team where Pardeep Narwal shone. In season 3, he moved from the Bulls to the Pirates and never looked back. The Pirates had a stellar raiding department last season, but they lacked an experienced raider among their squad.
They have retained Ayan Lohchab and might get Devank Dalal through FBM. However, there is a void for an experienced raider, which they missed last season. In the auction, the Pirates can pick their former star raider and bring him back for the upcoming season.
2. Telugu Titans
Telugu Titans are another team that can bet on Pardeep Narwal. Last season, the Titans had raiders like Pawan Sehrawat, Vijay Malik, and Ashish Narwal.
As they have released all three before the auction, they must be eying an experienced campaigner like Pardeep Narwal. Narwal can be a tremendous addition to the Titans’ squad and guide them to their first PKL trophy in the 12th season.

1. Bengaluru Bulls
We cannot ignore the possibility of Bengaluru Bulls using the FBM card for the record breaker. Although they did not get what they expected in the previous season, they know he can be lethal if he gets his rhythm back. The Bulls lost last season when they formed an unbalanced side in the previous auction.
They can try to correct their mistakes and build a stronger bench strength this season so that they can reverse the result of last season.
It will be interesting to see which team goes for the legendary raider in the upcoming auction. Will he rejoin one of his previous franchises, or will the Dubki King be seen in a new franchise in the upcoming season? Let’s know in the comments section.
