Season 4

The raider featured 10 times in Season 4 but scored only 11 points, raiding just 33 times over the course of the campaign. With Bengaluru Bulls adding Season 3 MVP Rohit Kumar and Deepak Kumar Dahiya, and it proved to be a disappointing season for Sehrawat as he slumped down the pecking order and saw limited opportunities to raid.

Season 6

The raider returned to Bengaluru Bulls for Season 6 and had a stellar second debut, scoring 20 raid points against Tamil Thalaivas, which were as many as he managed in the previous two campaigns.
He scored four Super 10s in his first five appearances and was engaged in a three-way battle with Patna Pirates’ Pardeep Narwal and U Mumba's Siddharth Desai in the race for the Best Raider award. He eventually finished with 13 Super 10s, two fewer than Narwal.
During the Playoffs, Sehrawat was in inspired form, scoring 13 raid points in Qualifier 1 and 22 in the final, both against Gujarat Fortunegiants and led Bengaluru Bulls to their maiden VIVO Pro Kabaddi title. He was crowned the league's MVP for Season 6.

Season 7

After Rohit Kumar's dip in form, Pawan Sehrawat carried the Bulls on his shoulders, on their way to their second playoff appearance in a row. He finished the season as the league's top scorer with an astonishing 353 points. However, the Bulls fell short to the table toppers Dabang Delhi in the semi-final.
