Arti

Hailing from the rustic landscapes of Rindhana, Haryana, Arti emerges as a stalwart Right Corner Defender, donning the jersey for the Murthal Magnets in the JSG Women's Yuva Kabaddi Series 2024. Born on August 25, 2004, into the family of Jasvir, a hardworking farmer, and Poonam Devi, a dedicated homemaker, Arti's journey is a testament to her resilience and passion for kabaddi. Arti's family resonates with the spirit of sportsmanship, boasting two elder sisters, Jyoti and Preeti, and a younger brother, Sahil, who not only shares the familial legacy but has elevated it by playing kabaddi at the National Level. Initiating her tryst with kabaddi in the 9th standard, Arti found inspiration in the formidable Pooja Narwal, an Indian kabaddi player who once graced the kabaddi arenas in Rindhana. This encounter fueled Arti's passion, and she commenced her journey as a kabaddi enthusiast. The title of "Right Corner Defender" befits Arti's playing style, defined by tenacity and a formidable "Thigh Hold" technique. Guided by three accomplished coaches—Rambaaz Narwal, who played in the Asian Games; Pawan Kumar, renowned for his raiding prowess; and Surender Kumar, her current mentor—Arti refines her skills at the Base Academy in Gharwal, Sonipat, Haryana. In the realm of representations, Arti has left an indelible mark, having showcased her prowess at the college, district, state, and national levels. A significant highlight includes the All India University competition in 2023, where Arti's stellar performance secured the 3rd place for her team. Her personal favorite match unfolded against Himachal in the same tournament, where she clinched 5 tackle points. Currently pursuing a degree in Arts (BA), Arti aspires to reach greater heights in her kabaddi career, setting her sights on representing India at the Asian Games. Her dedication, coupled with her favorite skill, the elusive "Toe Touch," makes Arti a formidable force in the Women's Yuva Kabaddi Series. As Arti continues to weave her narrative on the kabaddi mat, she stands as an embodiment of determination, skill, and the undying spirit of Haryana's kabaddi legacy.
