Sagar Rathee

Sagar Rathee is an Indian defender who has spent his entire Pro Kabaddi League career, as recorded in the official PKL data, with Tamil Thalaivas. Born on 17 June 2000, he has played six seasons for the franchise. He has collected 240 points in 76 matches, and 237 of those have come from tackles.

PKL career

Sagar’s first season in the official record is Season 7. He made 13 appearances that year and scored 22 points, all of them tackle points, along with one High 5.

Season 8 was his busiest and most productive campaign. He played 22 matches and scored 83 points: 82 in defence and one from a raid. He also recorded eight High 5s that season.

In Season 9 he played 17 matches and scored 53 points, every one of them a tackle point, with five High 5s. Season 10 brought 67 points from 18 matches, made up of 66 tackle points and one raid point, along with six High 5s. Season 11 was much quieter. He featured in just one match and scored three tackle points.

Across his PKL career he has 240 points from 76 matches, split between 237 tackle points and 3 raid points. He has 21 High 5s and no Super 10s.

Season 12

Sagar stayed with Tamil Thalaivas for Season 12 in 2025. In five matches he scored 12 points, 11 from tackles and one from a raid, and registered one High 5.

The official data puts his tackle strike rate for the season at 42 percent. His raid strike rate stands at 100 percent.

What the numbers show

Sagar’s record is that of a player whose work is done in defence. Tackle points make up nearly his whole PKL tally, and his 21 High 5s have come across his seasons with the Thalaivas. The occasional raid point is a small extra in a career built on stopping opposition raiders.
