The 'Most Valuable Player' of the recently-concluded seventh season of Pro Kabaddi - Naveen Kumar has scaled heights at such a young age with his consistent raiding performances. He etched his name into the record books this year and took his team Dabang Delhi K.C. to the finals single-handedly.

With over 300 raid points, Naveen Goyat scored 22 Super-10s in the seventh season, with 21 of them scored consecutively. He scored Dabang Delhi's 56.58% raid points with his precise running hand touches and bonuses. He has also been a vital player in the Services team in the Senior Nationals, led the raiding charges in the presence of Monu Goyat and Manjeet Dahiya, and took the team to the finals.

Naveen Goyat is indeed the future of the Indian kabaddi team and could be India's dependable raider in the South Asian Games 2019. His flamboyant raiding style will be valuable against the top defense of Pakistan and Bangladesh in his first stint in Indian colors.
