Another veteran of Pro Kabaddi who found a reason to celebrate early in Season 5 is Jaipur Pink Panthers new skipper Manjeet Chhillar. Out of Jaipur's 4 games, Manjeet has won two and his team has lost two. That's exactly how it has been. Against Puneri Paltan and Bengaluru Bull, Chhillar was in a league of his own and scored 7 and 8 tackle points respectively to single-handedly win his team the games. On the other nights, when his form wasn't that hot, his team let the match slip away.

It was in Jaipur's match against Puneri Paltan where the all rounder reached the personal milestone of 200 tackle points in his 63rd appearance in the league and became the first in Pro Kabaddi to do so. Another Chhillar, Mohit, is not too far behind with 180 points but Manjeet has secured his place in Pro Kabaddi history by reaching the milestone first.

Manjeet also sits atop the table for most tackle points by quite a margin and if he is going to score bucketful of them like he did against Bengaluru Bulls in his team's last match, Mohit and other defenders will have a lot of catching up to do to overtake him.
