Gujarat Fortune Giants signed Pankaj at ₹10 lakhs.
Pankaj made his Pro Kabaddi debut back in season 5 when he joined UP Yoddha's defensive line-up. He came in as a substitution to Sagar Krishna in the left corner and provided decent support to Nitesh Kumar in the defense.

In Season 6, Pankaj was retained by the UP Yoddha as a definite left corner in the starting seven. However, he was soon replaced by Sachin Kumar after a few initial matches and didn't get chances to prove his worth.
A defensive all-rounder, Pankaj is known for his dives from the left corner and can also aid the cover defenders with his supportive tackles, making him a vital player in the line-up.

While the left corner position looks a bit empty for Gujarat, Pankaj will have to step up to the plate and quickly impress the team management to book a permanent place in the starting 7. Overall, Pankaj has 17 tackle points in 14 matches to his name.
