Over the past decade, four teams have topped the points table twice each, while Dabang Delhi (PKL Season 7) and Puneri Paltan (PKL Season 10) have achieved this feat once each.

They defeated Bengaluru Bulls in the semi-finals and Puneri Paltan in the final to secure their second title.

One of the standout teams in the early seasons of the Pro Kabaddi League is U Mumba, who reached the final consecutively for three seasons, establishing themselves as one of the best. U Mumba, champions of the second season, also topped the points table twice.

In 2015, U Mumba clinched the top spot with 12 wins and 60 points in 14 matches, ultimately securing the title by defeating Patna Pirates in the semi-finals and Bengaluru Bulls in the final.

Continuing their dominance, in the third season, U Mumba once again finished at the top with 12 wins and 60 points in 14 matches. However, they faced defeat in the final, losing to Patna Pirates.

However, their journey ended in disappointment as they were defeated by the Patna Pirates in the final.
