Defender (hockeyindia.org, 14 Dec 2017)

He began playing hockey with his friends in Sundargarh, the village where he grew up in Odisha, India. Later, he enrolled at Panposh Sports Hostel, a government-run sports academy in Rourkela, where he received formal training. "The coach there taught me every basic skill of the sport. I have reached where I am today by steadily improving from that stage." (espn.in, 01 Dec 2017)

"The first sports equipment my father bought me was a football, and it was only later that I got into hockey. Growing up in a small place like Sundargarh, I never had any option for a sport other than hockey. Everybody used to play hockey, and I just followed what everybody else was doing." (espn.in, 01 Dec 2017)

FROM GOALKEEPER TO DEFENDER
He started out as a goalkeeper, before switching to become a defender while attending the Panposh Sports Hostel academy. "There was no fixed position to begin with, in my village I usually played as goalkeeper. When I got selected to the hostel, I wanted to play goalkeeper. But [the coach] told me that I was too short, and so he shifted me to right-out. As I kept playing, I switched to defence and have felt comfortable there ever since." (espn.in, 01 Dec 2017)
