The 25-year-old Jawahar Nagar started his VIVO Pro Kabaddi League career in season 4. He was bought as a raider by the Jaipur Pink Panthers in his debut season. In his debut season itself, he got the opportunity to play 6 matches and earn a total of 2 points which was not at all a bad start for a fresher competing against experienced kabaddi players.

In fact, he has been one of the Patna Pirates’ Elite Retained Player in season 6 as well as in season 7 with players like Pardeep Narwal and Vikas Jaglan. The management of Patna retained him at 13.2 lakhs for the upcoming season of Pro Kabaddi League.
