[edit]

Manjeet was adjudged Most Valuable Player (MVP) in Season 2 for his all-round performance. He picked up 40 tackle points and 67 raid points[8] as Bengaluru Bulls finished as runners-up.

Season 6

In Season 6, he moved to Tamil Thalaivas after the Tamil Nadu based franchise picked him. Manjeet became a leader in defence for the Thalaivas and scored 59 tackle points[8] as well as 8 raid points.[6]
