He had to choose a sport to play at school and chose rugby instead of football because not many students played it. "I joined rugby in an accidental way as you know those days in school you were required to join a club or a team for extra curricular activities. My first choice was football. As I was leaving, I looked over on the other side of the field and I saw a small group of boys throwing around and kicking an oval-shaped ball. They welcomed me and I joined them and at the first touch of the ball, I was hooked. I got hooked to the sport so much that it started affecting my academics."
