It’s only been 2 years since Naveen Kumar was introduced to vivo Pro Kabaddi League and his journey has turned out to be an exciting one with some exceptional performances. He worked hard throughout the season, learning to be better every day to ensure his team’s success in the tournament. He played brilliantly in season 7 earning the MVP title and became the third player in PKL history to score 300 points in a single season after record breaker Pardeep Narwal and high-flyer Pawan Sehrawat. Naveen entered the world of professional kabaddi when he was chosen as an NYP (new young player) by Dabang Delhi KC during his Junior Nationals and since then there was no looking back for this young 19-year-old lad.
While speaking about getting picked for FKH program, Naveen Kumar said on vivo Pro Kabaddi’s Instagram Live chat show ‘Beyond The Mat’, “This program helps youngsters like me to move forward in our lives, it is a brilliant initiative by Mashal Sports giving the new kids a chance to make it big. They had come for our Junior Nationals in Odisha and I got a call afterwards for joining the camp giving me an opportunity to be part of Pro Kabaddi League.”
