Representing India has been the greatest honor of my life."

This sport has given me everything, and now I want to give back, to help young dreamers from small towns believe that no matter the beginning, the destination is limitless. With faith, hard work, and heart, anything is possible. My gratitude is boundless, and my love for this beautiful game will never diminish. This isn't a goodbye... it's a thank you to everyone who shaped me, taught me, supported me, and loved me. You're all a part of my story."
