#1 Dharmaraj Cheralathan - 40 raid points
Despite being the most senior player of the Pro Kabaddi League, Dharmaraj Cheralathan has never been retained by a team since season 2. Every season, the defender is a part of the player auction and a new franchise procures his services. His PKL journey started with Bengaluru Bulls in the inaugural season.
Fondly referred to as 'Anna', he has plyed his trade for Puneri Paltan, Telugu Titans, Patna Pirates, U Mumba and this year he will turn up for Haryana Steelers. Cheralathan can play on both right and left corner positions but he has also made use of his raiding abilities for the team’s cause.
His best raiding performances came in the first two seasons for Bengaluru Bulls. The ankle hold specialist scored 32 raid points in those two editions. Yet, post his raiding show in the first two seasons, the veteran defender has opted to take a backseat and contribute on the defensive front.
