Rahul Kumar

Born on January 6, 2004, in Athmangola, Bihar, this young kabaddi player has a story that is both inspiring and heartwarming. Growing up in a humble farming family, with his father Baban Kumar and mother Rinku Devi, he learned the values of hard work and perseverance early on. Alongside his younger brother Rajiv and sister Rakhi Kumari, he found joy in sports and discovered a passion for kabaddi at just 12 years old, inspired by his uncle who used to play. Training at the Sarvoday Kabaddi Club under the guidance of Coach Subhash Kumar, he has worked tirelessly to hone his skills. Playing as an all-rounder, he excels as a left raider and left cover defender, with a special talent for blocking. His favorite kabaddi skill is the bonus, a testament to his strategic approach to the game. His journey has seen him compete in the Junior Nationals for Bihar in 2021—a memorable experience even though he didn’t bring home a medal. He is motivated by aspiring to play in the Pro Kabaddi League one day, inspired by his favorite player, Subash. With dreams in his heart and determination in his spirit, this young athlete is on a path to make a name for himself in the world of kabaddi.
