Center: Vikash Khandola

Vikash Khandola is the highest raid points' scorer for Haryana Steelers in Pro Kabaddi history.

Vikash Khandola has been one of the finds for Haryana Steelers since their inaugural season. A promising raider, Vikash is a swift and calculative player who has led the raiding on his own whenever he played for Haryana.

This young raider debuted back in season 4 with Dabang Delhi K.C but did not get enough chances in the starting seven. He performed well for the Haryana Steelers in season 5. He scored 58 raid points at an average of 6.44 raid points in 9 matches before getting injured mid-season.

When the most expensive player of Pro Kabaddi history, Monu Goyat, was dealing with injury concerns and lack of form, Vikash Khandola quickly emerged as one of their lead raiders with his quick agility and bonus stealing skills. He led the offensive charge on his own, scoring 177 raid points out of 22 matches at a brilliant average of 8.05 raid points.

The team management retained Vikash by paying 15.1% of their purse ahead of the auction. He will look to form a raiding duo with Prashant Rai in the offense of Haryana Steelers for Season 7.
