Early life and background
Rohit speak about his journey to professional Kabddi, “During my childhood, I was not interested in sports. The elders of my village used to play kabaddi. I saw Rakesh Kumar playing with a few others and he inspired me to play kabaddi. My father played kabaddi for a short time, but he joined the Delhi Police. He wants me to play kabaddi, so he takes me, Rakesh and Manjeet to watch matches in our village. I thought if I look like Rakesh Kumar then it will be good. That’s how I started, but it’s not a continuous process, I switch between games. I played the game and thought of playing one-on-one games instead of team games. I am good at 100 meters, 200 meters, long jump and high jump. I decided to take up kabaddi because I understood the game, my father told me to put more effort in kabaddi and build a career. Gradually I got to play in the state national team and started to like it. I was really happy when I received the kit bag. When I wore the training uniform of the Delhi team, the thought of wearing the Indian jersey also crossed my mind and I worked hard for it.”
