Some Lesser Known Facts

Maninder Singh is a well-known Indian Kabaddi player, recognized for his involvement in the Pro Kabaddi League with teams like Bengal Warriors and Jaipur Pink Panthers.
He kicked off his Kabaddi journey during his school days and later pursued professional training at the Shaheed Bhagat Singh Kabaddi Club under expert coaches like Hanumat Singh.
Maninder's breakthrough came when he was called for trials by the Jaipur Pink Panthers, prompting him to travel from his village for the opportunity.
In addition to playing Kabaddi, he works for the Punjab Police in Jalandhar and represents Punjab in the Senior Nationals, currently raiding for Bengal Warriors.
In 2014, he made a mark by securing the top raider title with 130 raid points in just 16 matches but had to sit out the next three seasons due to an injury.
His return in Season 5 saw him scoring 190 raid points with the Bengal Warriors, securing his retention for Seasons 6, 7, and 8.
During Season 7, he was appointed captain over PO Surjeet Singh, and he holds the distinction of being the second-fastest raider behind Pardeep Narwal during a game against the Patna Pirates.
Maninder contributed significantly to Bengal Warriors winning their first PKL title against Dabang Delhi in The Arena.
For the eighth season of PKL (2021-22), he was again named captain of Bengal Warriors, showcasing outstanding performance by scoring 17 raid points against U Mumba.
His passion for Kabaddi was ignited by his father, and he transitioned from playing 'Circle Kabaddi' in his village to pursuing the sport professionally under coach Paramjit Singh of the Punjab Police.
Maninder believes that Anup Kumar and Surjeet Singh are also deserving of the team captaincy.
Aside from Kabaddi, he engages in endorsement activities for health supplement brands like Fuel One and organizations such as Vision 11.
Maninder missed the final of Season 7 of the Pro Kabaddi League due to a shoulder dislocation, leading to his injury.
