Pardeep Narwal's breakthrough season came in 2016 when he played for the Haryana Steelers. He scored 219 points in 14 matches, making him one of the top raiders in the league. His impressive performance caught the attention of fans and teams alike, and he soon became a sought-after player.

The stadium gasped. Not because of the points, but because of how he did it. He had moved like water—slow, patient, then explosive.

Pardeep replied with a single emoji: 🧡.
