In 2021, Pawan was the solitary reason behind Bengaluru’s impressive form where he amassed 304 points from 24 matches, the highest by any player. This included a 27-point starrer where the Bulls would school the eventual winners of the tournament Dabang Delhi by a staggering 61-22.
Pawan also bossed the record of the highest number of raid points in a solitary PKL contest where he dropped 39 points against the Haryana Steelers in Season 7. It isn’t just PKL where Pawan has sprinkled the mat with his stardust. He recently played an instrumental role in propelling his domestic side, Indian Railways to its fourth successive Senior National Kabaddi Championship crown with a clinical 38-21 margin.
Pawan’s heroics have expanded to the international stage where he was a part of the Indian gold-medal winning side in 2019 at the South Asian games. Initially, he was the vice-captain of the side while Deepak Niwas Hooda led the contingent.
