In the shortlist for Manorama Sports Star 2023 award, national football player K.P. Rahul
KP Rahul
If you look at the career graph, I.M. KP is rushing to Vijayan’s ‘Range’. There are many reasons to say Rahul. Both of them grew up playing ball at the Thrissur Corporation Stadium, used to dribble the ball with both feet easily and score goals in their own style, got a place in the Indian team before the age of 23, and scored an international goal that fans remember at a young age. Though Malayalee fans are the strength, there is a foreign ‘factor’ lurking behind the achievements of both of them, Kolkata for Vijay and Goa for Rahul. The training and competition period in these countries has taken both of them to great achievements. In ISL football, Rahul is hitting new heights as the right winger of Kerala Blasters.

The career of Rahul (23), son of Kannoli Praveen and Bindu of Shreyas Nagar, Ollukara, Thrissur, has reached a critical turning point recently. He was included in the national senior team for the tournament held in Vietnam. Made his international debut against Singapore in a 1-1 draw. He scored a goal for the Indian team in the Hangzhou Asian Games. Rahul’s goal was in the match against China. After a gap of 13 years, an Indian player could score a goal in the Asian Games. Although India lost 5-1, Rahul became the only Indian goalscorer in the tournament.
Rahul is the only Malayali to have played for the country in the Under-17 FIFA World Cup hosted by India. After the World Cup, when he assembled the under-17 national team members and formed a team called Indian Arrows for the I-League, Rahul impressed again with his excellent goals. Coming to Kerala Blasters in 2019 was a crucial step in his career. In his debut season, he secured his place in the team with a goal against Hyderabad FC. Rahul will say that there is a ‘fanboy’ memory behind his decision to go to Blasters and stay firm despite offers from more than one ISL club.
When the Under-17 Football World Cup camp was held in Goa, Rahul regularly went to watch the ISL match at the Fatorda Stadium. Whenever the Blasters play, Rahul will be there cheering in the gallery. Admire the team, Rahul didn’t have to think twice when he got the invitation to play. From that day till now, Rahul has been the strong commander in the wing of Blasters.
