Yogesh Chavan

Yogesh Prakash Chavan, born on March 2, 2002, originates from Daha, Jalna, Maharashtra, and currently resides in the same locality. His father, Prakash, and mother, Panchafula, are both dedicated farmers. Yogesh has an elder brother named Satish, who serves in the police force but does not actively participate in kabaddi. Yogesh's kabaddi journey commenced at the age of 15, driven by his passion for the sport. As an All Rounder proficient in the Left Corner, Left Cover, and Left Raider positions, Yogesh exhibits versatility and adaptability on the kabaddi mat. His adeptness in executing precise "Hand Touch" maneuvers stands as a testament to his skill and agility. Under the mentorship of coach Panjabrao Wagh, Yogesh refines his skills at the Manta Taluka Ground, dedicating himself to rigorous training and improvement. He draws inspiration from Maninder Singh, admiring his power-packed raiding style, adeptness in securing bonus points, and remarkable "Hand Touch" abilities. While Yogesh is yet to make representations in formal kabaddi tournaments, his recent participation in the Buldana Local Tournament, where his team emerged victorious, hints at his potential and determination. Beyond kabaddi, Yogesh enjoys playing volleyball and cricket. Despite completing his education up to the 12th standard, Yogesh aspires to don the jersey of a Pro Kabaddi League team in the future, aiming to showcase his talent on the grand stage of professional kabaddi.
