Baskaran Murugan

Baskaran Murugan, born on November 11, 2001, originates from V. Pudupatti in the Sivaganga District of Tamil Nadu, where he currently resides. His father, N Murugan, is engaged in farming, while his mother, Muthulakshmi, takes care of their home. Baskaran has an elder brother named Jivanantham and two elder sisters, Jothi and Karthika, none of whom play kabaddi. Discovering his passion for kabaddi at the age of 15, Baskaran found his calling in the game. Excelling as a Right Raider, his signature move is the powerful kick. Under the guidance of coach Rajamanikam, who trained him in their village, Baskaran has refined his skills at Karpagam College. Despite not having participated in professional tournaments before, Baskaran has showcased his talent in numerous local matches. His admiration for kabaddi star Pardeep Narwal stems from Narwal's exceptional dubki skill and lightning-fast speed. Outside of kabaddi, Baskaran enjoys playing cricket and is currently pursuing his second year of BBA at Karpagam University. His participation in the Yuva Kabaddi Series marks a significant milestone in his career. Looking ahead, Baskaran aspires to venture into the hotel industry and establish his own business. With his dedication to kabaddi and his entrepreneurial spirit, Baskaran is poised to make a mark both on the kabaddi field and in the business world.
