Vaibhav has an elder sister named Anuradha, who doesn't share his passion for kabaddi.

Despite practicing alone at the village ground, Vaibhav has honed his skills as an All Rounder, excelling in positions such as Right Raider and Left Corner. His favorite player, Aslam Inamdar, is admired for his game strategy and bonus skills. Vaibhav's dedication to kabaddi has earned him representations at the district level in 2019 and 2020, securing first place on both occasions, along with participation at the State level in Khelo India Vibhag. Beyond kabaddi, Vaibhav indulges in swimming at the local level and is currently pursuing his third year of BSc. His career highlight includes a memorable performance in the final of a local tournament in 2024, where he orchestrated a remarkable comeback for his team, Dhule, against Akola. Despite being behind by 11 points in the last three minutes, Vaibhav's relentless raids and tackles led to a tied match. In the final raid, he clinched a crucial bonus point, securing victory for his team. Looking ahead, Vaibhav aspires to serve his nation by securing a job in the army, BSF, or CISF, leveraging his passion for kabaddi and his dedication to excellence.
