I will always cherish my School Nationals medal...

My journey of playing badminton started at the age of 6 years. At that time it was just a game, but after 10-12 years into the game, I have started playing it professionally. I remember my first match that was against cousin Ujwal kharbanda and he ousted me with a narrow margin.

The journey for me has been full of roadblocks as I have faced many injuries and politics the in the game too hasn’t done good to me, but I never gave up and always tried to improve my game.

At the age of 12, I played my first nationals. The match was against the host team Assam, I lost. I also played the school nationals and won the silver medal in that. Among all the best memories this was the moment I will always cherish.

I have played both at the national and international level. As far as my international match is concern, recently I played match against the Malaysian team. I lost the match in the second round despite giving a good fight.
