Siddharth Naresh

In the small village of Harchanpur Mazra, Uttarakhand, a young kabaddi enthusiast was born on September 25, 2006. Growing up, he was surrounded by the warmth of his loving family: his father, Nareshpal, a hardworking farmer, and his mother, Baby, a dedicated homemaker. He also has an elder brother, Vikrant, who doesn’t share his passion for kabaddi, but has always been a supportive figure in his life. At the tender age of 15, he discovered his love for kabaddi by watching others play in his village. Inspired by the thrill of the game, he decided to lunge into this exciting sport. Under the guidance of his coach, Rishipal Singh Tomar, whom he met at a local tournament two years ago, he has been honing his skills tirelessly at the Guruprasth Academy in Khanpur Laksher. His favorite move, the Dubki, showcases his agility and finesse, and he looks up to the legendary Pardeep Narwal for inspiration. Currently in his Second Year of a Bachelor of Arts program, he balances education and sport with determination. He recently shone at the Junior State Championship, impressing everyone, especially his coach. With his eyes on the Junior Nationals, he dreams of leading Uttarakhand to victory.
