Tejavath Srinath

Tejavath Srinath was born on August 14, 2001, in the serene village of Somaran, Telangana. Growing up in a close-knit family, he was inspired by his uncle, a kabaddi player, which sparked his interest in the sport at the age of fourteen. Balancing his dreams with education, he is currently pursuing an undergraduate degree in Arts while making strides in his kabaddi career. Now based in Hyderabad, Tejavath is a stipend player for Union Bank and trains diligently at the Sports Authority of India in Telangana, honing his skills under the guidance of coach Srinivas Reddy. As a Left Cover Defender, he has developed a special affinity for the diving thigh hold, which he has admired in his favorite player, Jaideep Dahiya. With participation in the Junior Nationals and the Khelo India Youth Games, he has already started making a name for himself, showcasing his talent with the Vijayanagara Veers in the recent Monsoon and Winter editions. In the future, Tejavath aims to reach the pinnacle of kabaddi by playing in the Pro Kabaddi League. His journey has just begun, and with the support of his family, including his elder brother, T. Sreekanth, he is eager to continue chasing his dreams on the mat.
