He said, “Ranjan sir deserves all the credit for my promotion to the next level from a First Division team to a Premier Division team, George Telegraph. His encouragement and advice on how to improve the game helped me to develop and settle as a midfielder. I started playing as a striker. Even I was one of the strikers at Wari AC. Ranjan sir’s observation changed my position and his nurturing helped me to become a midfielder.”
