Vaishnav Suryavanshi

Vaishnav Suryavanshi, born on January 28, 2003, in Dilai Road, Mumbai, is a promising kabaddi player representing Mumbai Shahar in the KMP YKS 2024 tournament. Despite being born into a family where his father, Vishwanath Suryavanshi, works in the finance sector and his mother, Vaishali Suryavanshi, is a homemaker, Vaishnav has pursued his passion for kabaddi from a young age. Starting his kabaddi journey in the 7th standard, Vaishnav found inspiration at the Shivshakti Sports Club, where he witnessed seniors playing and developed a keen interest in the sport. Excelling as a Right Raider, Vaishnav's best skill lies in his ability to execute swift and powerful kicks on the mat. Under the guidance of coaches Rajesh Padwe, Sandeep Kadgowkar, and Ananda Shinde at the Shivshakti club in Dilai Road, Mumbai, Vaishnav has honed his skills further, with a particular fondness for the jump technique, inspired by his favorite player, Pankaj Mohite. Apart from kabaddi, Vaishnav also engages in athletics and enjoys playing other sports. Despite not having notable career highlights yet, his memorable performance came in a semi-final match in 2024 between Shivshakti and Good Morning club, where he scored 8 raid points despite his team's loss. With aspirations to serve in the Indian Army and a strong determination to excel in kabaddi, Vaishnav Vishwanath Suryavanshi is poised to make significant strides in both his professional and personal endeavors.
