Dad’s The Way: Madhya Pradesh’s Kounain Getting Ready To Emulate His Olympian Father At KIYG 2023
Khelo India Youth Games: Mohammed Kounain Dad is trying to fit into his father’s shoes. As flamboyant as his father in the frontline, Olympian Sameer Dad’s son played a pivotal role in helping defending champions Madhya Pradesh enter the final of the Khelo India Youth Games 2023 at the Mayor Radhakrishnan stadium here.
Being tried as a midfielder in this competition, Kounain may have contributed only two goals but has set up many during Madhya Pradesh’s campaign towards retaining the title.
Besides being part of the last Khelo India Youth Games winning team, the 16-year-old has also been part of Madhya Pradesh side that brought home the Junior National Championship title after a gap of 40 years. His selection into the Junior India Camp’s core group is perhaps the first step towards another Dad donning India colours.
