Sometimes a defender or a tackler is not given much importance that a raider gets in Kabaddi. But a defender has an equally important role like that of an attacker as he wins tackle points for his team. Tackling a raider and stopping him from escaping to the midline amounts to one tackle point in Kabaddi. Let’s see who are the top 10 defenders in Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) history.

1. Manjeet Chhillar (339 Points)
