Pawan Sherawat, known for his raiding style and considered a master of the raid, is now all set to lace up his shoes for PKL Season 11. It came as a surprise to many when he was released by the Telugu Titans. Sherawat, regarded as one of the finest PKL players due to his consistency, has consistently maintained a high level of performance throughout his PKL career, making him a reliable asset for any team. He has also captained teams on several occasions, with his leadership of the Bengaluru Bulls being a prime example. Now, it’s time for a change as he returns to the Telugu Titans, who released him after PKL 2023.

The Telugu Titans are all set to make a comeback as Pawan Kumar Sehrawat returns to the team. When Sehrawat was released from the squad, it came as a shock to many before the auction. However, with the use of the FBM card, the Telugu Titans reacquired him during the Pro Kabaddi League Auction 2024 in Mumbai. The FBM card, similar to the RTM (Right to Match) card in the IPL, allows teams to reacquire players they have previously released, provided they are willing to match the final bid made by another franchise.
The Telugu Titans bought him back by matching a massive bid of ₹1.725 crore. Sehrawat, widely regarded as one of the best raiders in the league with his high-flying jumps and ability to maneuver through the toughest defenses, is once again set to roar on the mat.

Having predominantly played for two major teams, Bengaluru Bulls and Telugu Titans, Sehrawat has been a key part of both squads. He was with Bengaluru Bulls in Season 6 when they won their first title. Since 2021, he has been with Telugu Titans. Last year, despite the team’s mixed performances and inconsistency, failing to make it to the playoffs, Sehrawat consistently stood out. As an established player, it’s now up to him to justify his “greatest raider” tag once again and lead the team from the front in Season 11.
