Bio

The Mumbai lad has risen from the ranks with Bimal Ghosh’s Air-India to don the colours of mighty Mahindra United and Churchill Brothers and become a regular fixture with the national team for whom he made over a half-century of appearances. Earning the moniker of ‘India’s David Beckham’, the attacking midfielder and set piece specialist, like the celebrated Manchester United player, was also renowned for his overlaps on the right flank and his play making abilities. That he was a proven match winner for both club and country is enhanced by the fact that his cabinet is overflowing with trophies and honours including man of the match awards, both domestic and international.
