One player who truly stood out in the tenth season of the Pro Kabaddi League was Rakesh Sungroya. His performances for the Gujarat Giants were simply brilliant, and we are extremely proud of his achievements. Looking at his impressive track record in previous seasons, we are confident he will continue to excel in the upcoming season.

Rakesh was born in Geong Village, located in the Kaithal District of Haryana. He began playing Kabaddi at a very young age, initially treating it as a fun activity. However, it wasn’t long before he developed a genuine passion for the sport. He started participating in local tournaments, where his skills quickly caught the eye of talent scouts. Recognizing his potential, he was selected for the Sai Youth Program for Kabaddi. In addition to his Kabaddi career, Rakesh has pursued a degree in Sports Management, showcasing his commitment to both his sport and his education.

Rakesh continued to impress while playing for the NK Kabaddi Academy in the K7 tournament. During the 9 matches he played in the tournament, he scored an impressive 93 points, significantly contributing to his team’s progress to the Super 6 stage. His stellar performances in the K7 tournament paved the way for his entry into the Pro Kabaddi League, where he joined our team in season 8.

In his debut season, Rakesh made an immediate impact. He missed only one game and emerged as one of the best players on the team. He scored 140 raid points, including 5 Super 10s and 4 Super Raids, demonstrating a wide array of skills. His remarkable abilities earned him the nickname “Highly-skilled Rakesh.”

Due to his outstanding performance in season 8, Rakesh was retained for the 9th season, where he continued his splendid form. He earned 131 raid points, including 7 Super 10s and 3 Super Raids. In season 10, Rakesh remained one of our top performers, scoring 108 raid points. He was just behind Parteek Dahiya in terms of total raid points for the Giants.

Rakesh’s journey from a small village in Haryana to becoming a star in the Pro Kabaddi League is truly inspiring. His dedication, skill, and consistent performances make him a player to watch in the upcoming seasons. We are confident that Rakesh will continue to shine and achieve even greater heights in his Kabaddi career.
