“The first name I heard was Sachin Tendulkar” – Naveen Kumar reveals the story behind his shirt number
In the same chat, Naveen Kumar revealed why he wears the number 10 jersey in Pro Kabaddi League matches. Kumar said he had seen Sachin Tendulkar achieve great success while wearing the number on his back, which is why he wanted to have the same number on his shirt in kabaddi.
“When I first saw cricket, the first name I heard was Sachin Tendulkar. My father used to watch matches on TV. He used to wear the number 10 shirt. He is a player who is considered to be the god of cricket,” said Naveen.
He concluded, “So, I wanted to make a similar impact if I became an athlete. I had the pleasure of wearing the number 10 shirt just from there.”
Naveen had led Delhi to the playoffs in the previous PKL season, but they were unable to defend their title. Delhi is aiming to regain its title in 2023-24.
