Kabaddi is a demanding sport. Apart from mental toughness, you need to be robust and flexible with your body to avoid injuries on the Kabaddi mat. Over the years, we have seen many players suffer injuries while playing in the Pro Kabaddi League, with muscle tears and hamstring injuries being the most common.

That being said, there are a handful of players who have featured in the league almost since the debut season and are still ruling the mat. The longevity of these players is something to be proud of, and maintaining their fitness for a long time in a physically demanding game like Kabaddi is nothing short of extraordinary.

In this post, we have compiled a list of three Pro Kabaddi players who have defied age and continue to rule PKL. So, without wasting any further time, let’s go deep down into this list.

1. PO Surjeet Singh (Defender)

The first name on this list is Right Cover Defender, PO Surjeet Singh. Surjeet is a veteran of Indian Kabaddi and has been a part of Pro Kabaddi League since 2016. Surjeet was born on 10th August 1990 and has been a part of several teams in PKL history. Surjeet’s first franchise was Puneri Paltan, and then he went on to represent teams like U Mumba, Bengal Warriorz, Tamil Thalaivas, Telegu Titans, and Bengaluru Bulls. He is currently representing Jaipur Pink Panthers in the ongoing PKL season. Surjeet has been a lynchpin of the league and holds the record for the most High 5s in PKL history. He is 34 now, and it would be interesting to see how many more seasons are left in him for Pro Kabaddi League.

2. Maninder Singh (Raider)

Former Bengal Warriorz skipper Maninder Singh is the second name on the list of Pro Kabaddi players who have defied age and continue to rule PKL. Widely recognized as ‘Mighty’ Maninder Singh, the might of this phenomenal raider’s dominance is evident by the fact that he stands second on the list of most raiding points in PKL history, closing in on 1,500 raid points. Maninder made his PKL debut in the inaugural season, i.e., in 2014, but missed the next two due to injury. Despite not featuring in two seasons on the trot, Maninder is still the second most successful raider. Maninder is 34 right now and has been doing more than decent this season; it would be interesting to see how much ‘Might’ Maninder would be left in him for the upcoming PKL seasons.

3. Fazel Atrachali (Defender)

The third name on this list of Pro Kabaddi players who have defied age and continue to rule PKL is Iran and Bengal Warriorz’s current skipper, Fazel Atrachali. ‘Sultan’ Fazel Atrachali is one of the most decorated defenders in the league’s history. Fazel stands atop the ladder with the most tackle points in PKL history. Fazel is 32 right now and still remains one of the most lethal left-corner defenders in the league. With fitness by his side, we wish to see him doing his bit in the upcoming PKL seasons as well.
