Mahesh Rana

Meet Mahesh Rana, a rising star in the world of kabaddi, born on March 18, 2008, in Chandigarh. Growing up in a family deeply embedded in sports—his father Naresh Kumar is a property dealer with a passion for kabaddi, and his older brother Kunal is a wrestler—Mahesh was inspired from a young age to embrace athleticism. He began his kabaddi journey at just eight years old, encouraged by the sports background of his family. Training diligently at the Maloya Coaching Centre under the guidance of his coach, Ramesh Rana, Mahesh has been honing his skills, particularly his favorite move, the hand touch. His admiration for Ramesh Rana goes beyond mere fandom; he values the coach's extensive experience and ability to teach effectively. Though Mahesh is currently in the 11th standard, balancing education and sports is part of his routine. He has faced his share of challenges in competitions, participating in events like the Khelo India and sub-junior national tournaments, but he keeps his eyes on the prize. His aspiration is clear: one day, he dreams of playing in the Pro Kabaddi League. With charisma and determination, Mahesh Rana is certainly a name to watch in the kabaddi arena.
