In the YKS TN Clubs 2024 tournament, representing PRIST University, we have S Karthik. He was born on February 14, 2000, in Vadaseri, Karur, Tamil Nadu, and currently resides there. Karthik's father, Sivakumar, is a farmer cultivating crops like brinjal, tomato, etc., while his mother, Elanjiam, is a homemaker. He has two siblings, an elder brother named Ganapathi and a younger brother named Bharathi. While his younger brother plays kabaddi for fun, he is not as serious about it. Karthik began playing kabaddi at the age of 7, starting initially in his local area. He specializes as a right cover defender on the kabaddi mat, with his best skill being cutting. His coaches, Suri, Ramesh and Vetriselvan, have provided him with the necessary basics and training. He practices wherever there is open space available in his locality. Jeeva Kumar is Karthik's favorite kabaddi player, admired for his defensive prowess. Karthik aspires to meet him someday to learn more tips and techniques. He has represented his school and participated in the South Zone Inter University kabaddi tournaments. Through kabaddi, Karthik has been able to receive free education, which he considers one of his career highlights. Currently pursuing a college graduation degree in BA English, Karthik aims to play in the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) and represent Tamil Nadu in the future. He is grateful for the opportunity to pursue education without burdening his parents.
