Surjeet Narwal: Hisar Heroes' Two-Way Contributor in KCL Season 1

Franchises chasing a deep run in the debut season of the Kabaddi Champions League (KCL) often relied on squad members capable of stepping up in both raiding and defensive situations. For Hisar Heroes, Surjeet Narwal was one such player, contributing across both disciplines during a Season 1 campaign that ultimately carried the franchise to the semi-finals.

A Franchise Built on Squad Depth

The KCL Season 1 auction on December 28, 2025 saw all eight franchises — including Bhiwani Bulls, Rohtak Royals, Karnal Kings, Gurugram Gurus, Sonipat Stars, Panipat Panthers, and Faridabad Fighters — build their rosters from a pool of 128 selected players within a ₹4 crore purse. Hisar Heroes assembled a squad with genuine depth on both sides of the mat, and Surjeet Narwal formed part of that wider effort once the season got underway at the Sports University of Haryana in Rai, where KCL Season 1 ran from January 25 to February 7, 2026.

A Season of All-Round Involvement

Featuring in all eight matches for Hisar Heroes, Surjeet Narwal attempted 20 raids, converting three of them successfully with three unsuccessful attempts, producing five raid points at a raid strike rate of 25 percent. His involvement extended into defence as well, where he registered one tackle attempt across the season, which was converted successfully for one tackle point. While his overall raiding and tackling volume was modest compared to the league's headline performers, Narwal's presence across all eight matches reflected consistent availability and a willingness to contribute wherever the team needed him. The full Season 1 standings and results can be tracked on the KCL Standings and Matches pages.

A Dependable Presence Through a Long Campaign

Featuring in every one of Hisar Heroes' eight league matches is itself a notable marker of reliability, and Surjeet Narwal's willingness to contribute in both raiding and defensive situations, however modestly, reflected the kind of squad-first mentality that helps a franchise sustain form across a demanding schedule.

Part of a Semi-Final Campaign

Hisar Heroes' Season 1 journey carried the franchise into the knockout stage, and Surjeet Narwal's consistent presence across the full league phase played a small but real part in that run, even as the team's campaign ultimately ended at the semi-final stage with Rohtak Royals going on to lift the inaugural title.

What's Next for Surjeet Narwal

With Season 1 now complete, attention turns to how Surjeet Narwal and Hisar Heroes build on a campaign that fell just short of the final. Fans following the franchise's squad depth will be watching to see whether his role expands in the seasons ahead. While no official announcement on KCL Season 2 has been made yet, anticipation is already building around what the next chapter could hold for Hisar Heroes' squad.
