A traditional central midfielder he boasts considerable work-rate helping his team both in defence and attack.


A quick customer, he is not the fastest on the pitch, but stays ahead of everyone else because of his immediate reactions and is quick off the mark.

Background


He started out at the Tata Football Academy in 2008 as a 16 year old. He spent two years there before moving to East Bengal, where he played in the youth team but could not break into the first team. Subsequently, he moved to Pailan Arrows to earn some valuable game-time.

Rise to Glory

Coached by the World Cup winner Gianluca Zambrotta, he helped the Dynamos reach the semi-finals.


He started 15 games in that season and scored two very important goals against Pune City FC and an absolute screamer from long distance against Atletico de Kolkata. He emerged as one of the standout Indian players from the 2015 season of ISL.


Club Career
