His standout skill on the kabaddi court is the chain tackle, a technique he has honed through rigorous practice and guidance from his coach, Vivek Bhatikare.

One of Rohit's favorite kabaddi players is Mohammadreza Shadloui Chiyaneh, whose skillset he admires, particularly the thigh dive. Inspired by players like Shadloui, Rohit aims to emulate their techniques and excel in his performance on the kabaddi field. Rohit has represented his school in kabaddi competitions, achieving a gold medal in the School State tournament in 2019, showcasing his talent and dedication to the sport.
