Jitendra Yadav

Jitendra Mahendra Yadav, born on March 19, 2004, in the picturesque town of Koderma, Jharkhand, has always been fueled by passion and ambition. Although he initially dreamed of being a cricket star, fate had other plans for him. At just 14, he wandered onto Pankaj Mohite's ground and found himself captivated by the sport of kabaddi. Inspired by the impressive training sessions he witnessed, Jitendra began his journey in kabaddi, receiving training directly from Pankaj Mohite himself. Now residing in Wadala, Maharashtra, Jitendra balances his love for kabaddi with his education in a Bachelor of Commerce program at Dr. Ambedkar College. The journey hasn’t always been easy, but with a supportive family—his father, Mahendra Yadav, and mother, Manju Devi—by his side, he builds a promising career in logistics while honing his kabaddi skills at SSG Club in Wadala. Jitendra is proud of his achievements, including clinching a gold medal in the Mumbai city university tournament. His ultimate dream is to play in the Pro Kabaddi League and proudly represent India on the international stage. With determination and a never-give-up attitude, Jitendra is ready to make a mark in the world of kabaddi.
