UNCLE'S ADVICE
After not gaining selection to the Indian national team in 2016, he planned to leave India and pursue his career with an overseas club. His uncle Jugraj Singh convinced him to remain in India and persevere with gaining selection to the national team. He was eventually called up to the national team in 2018. "If it was not for him [Jugraj], I would have been playing in some foreign league now." (timesofindia.indiatimes.com, 28 Nov 2018)
