Pro Kabaddi League

Surender started playing Kabaddi in the left corner for the franchise U Mumba in Season 1 of the Pro Kabaddi League.[3]

He represented the Indian National Team in the 2016 Kabaddi World Cup held in Ahmedabad.[4] He, along with his partner, right corner Mohit Chhillar, have since remained the first choice players for the national team in their respective positions. The two have gained a reputation as the most lethal left-right corner combo in the sport of Kabaddi which are the most important positions in the defensive set-up and strategy.[5]

In Season 5 of Pro Kabaddi League, he was selected by the new franchise, Haryana Steelers, and offered him the captaincy.[6][7][8]

He is consistently ranked among the Top Ten Defenders in all seasons of Pro Kabaddi league.[9] In Season 1, he scored 51 tackle points in 15 games. In Season 5, he top scored with 80 tackle points in 22 matches.[10]

In 2019, Nada was bought by Patna Pirates for 77 lakhs.[11] In 2021, he was back in Haryana Steelers.[12]
