Tamil Thalaivas made their debut in the Pro Kabaddi League during the fifth season in 2017. As a new franchise, the team aimed to make a strong impact under the leadership of veteran Ajay Thakur. Despite their aspirations, Tamil Thalaivas struggled to find consistency in their performance throughout the season.

They won only six out of their 22 matches, finishing at the bottom of Zone B. However, Ajay Thakur's individual brilliance, particularly in raiding, became a highlight for the team. Their debut season was marked by tough competition, learning experiences, and hopes for a brighter future in the league.
