Took up the sport in class 7, and in my hometown of Thiruvarur in Tamil Nadu volleyball is very popular. I too wanted to become a volleyball player.

That would be the 2015 U-23 Asian Championship in Myanmar, my first time in India colours. It gave me the confidence that I can go higher.

My school coach Jayaprakash, he took a lot of interest in me right from the time when I was young, teaching me the basics, and even now I consult him when it comes to the mental aspects of the sport.

2015 U-23 Asian Championship in Myanmar. Played Senior Nationals continuously for the past six years – first five for Railways and the latest in 2019 for Tamil Nadu.

That would be my first Senior Nationals in Moradabad in 2013, we lost in the quarterfinals. I gained recognition for my game.

Proud to be a part of Chennai Spartans, especially as the team’s from my home state. Our team is a good mix of experience and youth. I firmly believe that the PVL will revolutionise the sport in the country and help broadbase it further.
