Pro Kabaddi League 2022 Best Raider, Best Defender: Most Raid Points, Most Tackle Points (Updated) as on Dec 31

The Pro Kabaddi League 2022 continued in Bengaluru on the final night of the year 2022. There were two matches that happened on December 31, 2021 at the Grand Sheraton Whitefield. 

The first match of the night featured two teams that have never reached the Pro Kabaddi League final - Tamil Thalaivas and Puneri Paltan. Both teams were desperate for a victory, and it was the team from Chennai that emerged victorious against the Vishal Bhardwaj-led outfit. 

Match number two featured three-time PKL winners Patna Pirates and the defending champions of the competition Bengal Warriors. Interestingly, Bengal played this match without their Iranian all-rounder Mohammed Esmaeil Nabibakhsh. His absence hurt them a lot as Patna recorded a convincing win. 

After the two matches that happened yesterday, there were some changes on the individual leaderboards. Here’s a look at the updated Most Raid Points and Most Tackle Points lists of the Pro Kabaddi League 2022.
