Haryana Steelers made a rocking entry into the VIVO Pro Kabaddi League as they reached the playoffs in their debut season and dominated almost every team in the tournament. They went the extra mile in the auction last year to sign Monu Goyat for a staggering price of ₹1.51 crores, making him the costliest player in the history of the VIVO Pro Kabaddi League.
However, the raider crumbled under the pressure of high expectations and failed to deliver the goods. He was appointed the team's captain after an unfortunate injury to Surender Nada but Goyat failed as a leader as well.

The team could not make it to the playoffs and as a result, Haryana Steelers released Monu Goyat ahead of the auction. They even added Rakesh Kumar in their coaching staff to strengthen their team's chances.
