The lanky raider has a formidable Pro Kabaddi record to his name, having played for the Jaipur Pink Panthers and Puneri Paltan and amassing 138 raid points over the course of three seasons. He was also a part of the Indian team that won the gold medal at the Asian Games in 2010.

He was bought by the Haryana Steelers at the auction for a bargain price of Rs 21 lakh and looked all set to become a part of a menacing attack line but it was later revealed that he was dropped from the team as he was physically unfit and will not play this season's PKL.
