Despite his absence off the mat, Bengal Warriors clinched their first ever PKL title by beating Dabang Delhi in The Arena.[19] Maninder was just 2 Points short from his career best performance. However, his best performance came against Jaipur Pink Panthers, when he picked up 19 raid points from 24 raids in the Warriors' 41-40 win that propelled his team to the playoffs.[20] His average of 10.25 points per game in the season was the best of his vivo Pro Kabaddi career and his tally of six Super Raids was bettered by only three other raiders.[21]
