Naveen Kumar Goyat is a prominent figure in Indian kabaddi who has made a name for himself in the sport both nationally and in the Pro Kabaddi League (PKL), playing for Dabang Delhi KC. Known for his raiding skills, he is one of the strongest raiders in the league. In the 2022 Asian Games, Naveen was a crucial member of the Indian team that clinched the gold medal in a nail-biting 33-29 victory over Iran in the final.

Born into a modest family in Sultanpur, Haryana, on February 14, 2000, Naveen was introduced to the sport by his grandfather. His father worked as a driver. He pursued his academics at the Kurukshetra University. He is known to be the first person from the 21st century to compete in the PKL and was the youngest to join the league. His debut came in the 2018 season, representing Dabang Delhi, where he had a strong impression as the team’s lead scorer with 177 points, steering them to the playoffs.

Naveen continued to shine in Season 7, where he was honored with the Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award. He played a crucial role in his team’s success as Dabang Delhi finished as runners-up. His exceptional raiding skills earned him a total of 300 points in a single season as he achieved Super 10s in 22 out of 23 matches, earning him the nickname ‘Naveen Express’ for his dynamic play. In Season 8, despite an injury setback that briefly sidelined him, he returned in the later stages and played a vital role in Dabang Delhi’s eventual victory, once again earning the MVP title.
