Who is rahul kannoly praveen
Rahul’s journey to this prestigious platform began with his representation of India at the youth level. He was part of the India under-17 team that participated in the 2017 FIFA U-17 World Cup, where India served as the host nation.
He made his World Cup debut on 6 October 2017 in a challenging 3–0 loss against the United States, marking the beginning of his international career.
The versatile winger continued his development through India’s youth ranks, progressing to represent both the under-20 and under-23 national teams. His senior international breakthrough came on 20 September 2022, when he was named in India’s squad for the Hung Tinh Friendly football tournament in Vietnam.
Rahul’s international experience expanded further when he was selected for the Indian team at the 2022 Asian Games.
Despite a difficult 1-5 loss against China, he managed to find the back of the net, becoming the sole goal scorer for India in that match and demonstrated his ability to perform under pressure on the continental stage.
Known primarily as a right-winger, Rahul brings versatility to any squad with his ability to operate effectively on the left flank as well.
The naturally right-footed player has built a reputation for his explosive pace, technical dribbling skills, and exceptional work rate.
