Harjeet Ram

Born on September 5, 2002, in Pakka Kalan, Punjab, this young kabaddi enthusiast is carving his own path in the sport he loves. Growing up in a humble household, his father Tej Ram, a dedicated laborer, and his mother Jeetu, a caring homemaker, instilled the importance of hard work and perseverance. With an elder brother, Malkeet Ram, supporting him from the sidelines, he found his passion for kabaddi at the tender age of 11, inspired by the senior players in his community. Training under the watchful eye of coach Manpreet Singh at the Sports School in Ghudda, he honed his skills, becoming proficient in ankle holds and double thigh holds. As a Left Corner Defender, he stands out on the mat, having represented the Maharaja Bhupinder Singh Punjab Sports University team during the Junior Nationals in 2022. His aspiration is one day compete in the Pro Kabaddi League, aiming to follow in the footsteps of his favorite player, Fazel Atrachali. Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Physical Education, he balances academics with his sporting dreams. With each practice session, he is one step closer to achieving greatness, motivated by his love for the game and the support of his family.
