A Viswaraj, a dedicated kabaddi player from the lively city of Trichy in Tamil Nadu, was born on October 24, 2003. Life threw challenges his way early on, losing both his parents, R Anguraj, an electrician, and A Seetha, a homemaker. Alongside his two elder sisters, B Sharanya and P Ambika, and his brother, A Vijaybrahma—who also shares his passion for kabaddi—he’s found strength in family bonds that inspire him every day. His journey into kabaddi began at the age of 17 when his natural speed caught the attention of a local coach, V Priyanka. Under her guidance, A Viswaraj has flourished as an all-rounder, excelling in left corner defense and showcasing exceptional raiding skills. His signature Running Hand Touch and favored Back Kick have established him as a formidable presence on the mat. Viswaraj’s game has been further enhanced by the support and mentorship of Chandran Ranjith, a seasoned kabaddi player with over 100 matches in the Pro Kabaddi League. A close friend of Coach Priyanka, Ranjith has shared invaluable tips to help Viswaraj refine his techniques and strategies, making a significant impact on his progress. In 2023, he achieved a significant milestone by being recognized as the Best Raider in a tournament in the Pudukottai District. This achievement brought immense pride and recognition to his village. Currently studying First Year Physical Education, Viswaraj dreams of wearing the national jersey for Team India, striving to honor his late parents, make his coach proud, and inspire future generations.
