Ajit Pandurang Pawar

Ajit Pandurang Pawar is an Indian defender who has played all three of his Pro Kabaddi League seasons for Telugu Titans. Born on 10 February 2000, he has been part of the Titans defence since Season 10. Fans know him as a dependable tackler who has kept producing solid numbers season after season.

PKL career

According to official PKL data, Pawar has played 63 matches across three seasons and scored 108 points. Of those, 102 came from tackles and 6 from raids. He has recorded 4 High 5s in that time and has no Super 10s, which reflects a player whose main job is stopping raiders rather than scoring on the raid.

Season 10

Pawar’s first season with Telugu Titans brought 36 points from 20 matches, made up of 30 tackle points and 6 raid points. He registered 2 High 5s that season, his best return in that category across his three campaigns so far. The raid points are a notable detail for a defender, as they are the only raid points of his PKL career.

Season 11

In Season 11 he played 22 matches, the most of any of his three seasons, and scored 34 points, every one of them from tackles. He added 1 High 5 as he settled further into the Titans defensive unit.

Season 12

Season 12 in 2025 was his most productive in defence. Pawar collected 38 tackle points in 21 matches, his highest tackle tally in a single season, and finished with a tackle strike rate of 37%. He did not score any raid points and recorded 1 High 5 during the campaign.

Across three straight seasons with Telugu Titans, Pawar’s tackle tally has risen each year, from 30 to 34 to 38, making him a steady and reliable presence in the side’s defence.
