MOTIVATION
He was dropped from the senior national team after the 2018 World Cup in Bhubaneswar, India. National coach Graham Reid had instructed him to work on his fitness and discipline on the field. He returned to the senior training camp in early 2020. "I was very upset with myself because I was a part of almost every major tournament [with the senior team] and I was looking forward to appearing in the Olympics as well. I was in the junior national camp when chief coach Graham [Reid] watched me train and he spoke to me individually. When he met me, Graham spent quite some time with me to understand my background, how I got into hockey and he was interested to know more about my game though he said he had seen me during the World Cup. He asked me to work hard, improve my attitude, be more disciplined in my game and work on my fitness level if I wanted to make a comeback [to the senior training camp]. He said if I improve in these areas I had a chance to return and he had also warned that there are a lot of other players waiting to grab this opportunity. Of course, the coach speaking to me then gave me a lot of confidence and hope to make a comeback."
