Vishal Bharadwaj was one of the finds for Telugu Titans in season 5 when he scored 71 tackles in matches and was the third most successful defender of the season which included 5 high 5's. He was retained and given an opportunity to captain the team in season 6.

He continued to impress in season 6. The 21-years-old left corner defender has scored 26 points in 6 matches he has played in season 6 so far. He also has 2 high 5's and 4 super tackles to his name. Along with right corner Abozar Mohazer Mighani, he has anchored Telugu Titans' defence and helped them to be one of the strongest defensive team in the season.

He had earned a call-up from the Indian team for 2017 Asian Kabaddi Championships but was made to sit on the bench during the whole tournament. However, he might be selectors' first choice for the next kabaddi tournament due to his consistently good performances.
