The Steelers had a good start to life in the PKL as they reached the playoffs in their debut 2017 season, but the success was short-lived, as the team finished in the bottom of Zone A in the following 2018-19 season.
Haryana Steelers had a tremendous start in the PKL 2019. They made their claim for the title by making it to the playoffs due to their strong Raiders. But Haryana Steelers stayed away from the trophy due to their defense glitch in the eliminator against U Mumba. Overall 2019 season was one of the best season for team. The coach of the team Rakesh Kumar also made his name as a successful coach of Pro Kabaddi League by making team to Playoffs.
