Bharat Hooda is an Indian all-rounder who played for Telugu Titans in Season 12 of the Pro Kabaddi League. Born on 30 October 2002, he has built a reputation as a reliable source of raid points. Across five PKL seasons he has played 108 matches and scored 883 points (829 raid, 54 tackle), with 39 Super 10s to his name.
PKL career
Hooda began his PKL journey with Bengaluru Bulls, spending three seasons there. In Season 8 he scored 129 points from 23 matches. Season 9 was his breakout campaign: 282 points from 23 matches, 279 of them from raids, along with 16 Super 10s. He added 109 points from 18 matches in Season 10.
He moved to UP Yoddhas for Season 11 and scored 116 points (102 raid, 14 tackle) from 23 matches, including five Super 10s.
Season 12
With Telugu Titans in Season 12, Hooda played 21 matches and scored 247 points (230 raid, 17 tackle), with 11 Super 10s. His raid strike rate was 66% and his tackle strike rate 45%.
One of his standout nights came in Chennai, when he marked his 100th PKL game with 20 points (16 raid and four tackle) in a 46-29 win over defending champions Haryana Steelers. He completed his Super 10 with a successful Do-Or-Die raid before half time and was a constant presence at both ends of the mat.
Also in Chennai, he faced his former side UP Yoddhas and posted a Super 10 as the Titans won 40-35 to extend their winning run to four matches. Hooda added the finishing touches to that high-scoring contest. In Vizag, he led the charge with 13 points in a 45-37 win over U Mumba, bringing up his Super 10 with a Super Raid as the home side wrapped up their leg with a third straight victory.
Style of play
Match reports show Hooda as a raider who likes to set the tone early, often opening a game with a multi-point raid. He has a habit of delivering under pressure in Do-Or-Die raids. Against U Mumba, a multi-point Do-Or-Die raid inflicted an ALL OUT in the sixth minute. While raiding is his main weapon, he also chips in on defence, as his four tackle points against Haryana Steelers showed.
