Bengaluru Bulls have been one of the most consistent teams in the history of the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL). Right from the beginning of the league, they have been among the top-performing teams.
In the very first season, the Bengaluru Bulls finished in the fourth position. However, they bounced back to make it to the finals in the following season. Unfortunately, they lost the final and finished as runners-up.
It was only in the sixth season that they went on to win their maiden PKL trophy, defeating Gujarat Giants in the final. The Bulls have made it to the playoffs six times in ten seasons so far.
Over the years, they have had some star players in their line-up, who have been instrumental to their success. Ahead of the 11th season, here is the all-time PKL 7 of the Bengaluru Bulls.
Bengaluru Bulls' all-time PKL 7
Saurabh Nandal (Right Corner)
A key figure in the Bengaluru Bulls' defense, Saurabh Nandal has been an exceptional performer since his debut in Season 7. Over four seasons, he has become a force to be reckoned with, racking up 246 tackle points in 92 matches.
His impressive stats include 11 High 5s and 19 super tackles, highlighting his ability to deliver in high-pressure moments. Nandal’s consistent brilliance at the right corner has solidified his place as one of the most dependable defenders in Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) history.
Bharat Hooda (Raider)
Bharat Hooda burst onto the PKL scene in Season 8 and quickly established himself as a crucial asset for the Bengaluru Bulls. Known for his height and athleticism, Hooda’s raiding prowess came to the forefront in Season 9 when he was named the Best Raider of the Tournament after amassing an incredible 280 points.
With 497 points in just three seasons, Hooda has earned his spot in the Bulls' all-time best lineup. His agility and knack for multi-point raids make him a formidable challenge for any defense.
Mahender Singh (Left Cover)
Nicknamed "The Bulldozer," Mahender Singh has been a vital component of Bengaluru’s defense for five seasons. As a left-cover defender, he has maintained remarkable consistency, earning 264 tackle points across 110 matches, with 15 High 5s to his name.
Mahender’s ability to organize the defense and execute timely tackles has been instrumental in the Bulls' successes over the years, securing his place in their all-time starting seven.
Manjeet Chhillar (Right Cover)
One of the most celebrated players in PKL history, Manjeet Chhillar was a driving force behind the Bulls' early success. His all-round skills shone during the first two seasons, as he accumulated 91 tackle points and 133 raid points. Chhillar's versatility was key in leading Bengaluru to the final in Season 2.
With his defensive brilliance and leadership on and off the mat, he rightly claims the right cover position in the Bulls' all-time best lineup.
Pawan Sehrawat (Raider)
Pawan Sehrawat, famously known as the “High Flyer,” is undoubtedly one of the most iconic players in Bengaluru Bulls’ history. His return to the team in Season 6 marked a turning point, as he led them to their first-ever PKL title by scoring 271 raid points in 24 matches.
Pawan broke records in Season 7, racking up an astounding 360 points. From Seasons 6 to 8, he accumulated a staggering 987 raid points, solidifying his reputation as one of the most prolific raiders in the league. His brilliance as a center raider makes him the cornerstone of the Bulls’ all-time seven.
Rohit Kumar (Raider)
Rohit Kumar, the only captain to guide Bengaluru Bulls to a PKL championship, remains one of the franchise’s most successful raiders. Joining the team in Season 4, Rohit consistently delivered top performances, notably scoring 219 raid points in Season 5.
Throughout his tenure with the Bulls, Rohit amassed 568 raid points, forming a dynamic partnership with Pawan Sehrawat in Season 6. His leadership, ability to perform in crucial moments, and exceptional raiding skills secure his place in the left-in position of this all-time lineup.
Dharmaraj Cheralathan (Left Corner)
A seasoned veteran, Dharmaraj Cheralathan was a defensive stalwart for Bengaluru Bulls during the early seasons. His vast experience and precise defensive instincts helped him tally 52 points in Season 1 and 61 points in Season 2.
Known for his expertise in executing super tackles, Cheralathan maintained an impressive tackle strike rate of 56.5%. His consistent performances at the left corner earn him a well-deserved spot in Bengaluru Bulls' all-time best seven.
