Veteran raider K Prapanjan is currently playing for Haryana Steelers in the ongoing Pro Kabaddi League 2023. The 29-year-old forms a valuable part of Haryana’s strong raiding department, which also includes the likes of Siddharth Desai and Chandran Ranjit.
With more than 430 points in over 100 matches in the Pro Kabaddi League, K Prapanjan brings a vast experience. He is playing his second consecutive season with the Steelers and would be hoping to lift the trophy.
In the ongoing season, he hasn’t been able to sprinkle his magic on the field yet. Prapanjan has played two matches and has managed to garner just as many points. Haryana Steelers are currently at ninth position on the points table, having secured two wins in three matches.
