My gear for shooting this video:

In today’s episode of Figuring Out, we have Sunil Chhetri in conversation with Raj Shamani. He is India’s finest football player. He has won awards like Padma Shri, Arjuna Award for Football, and many such awards. He has made an exceptional contribution to Indian football. In this episode, we talked about why he outshined among other Indian footballers, how his mom has been his biggest competitor, and how his journey in football started. We then talked about how he has evolved as a player through the years and how he reacts to things differently. We discussed what kind of player one should choose while building a team; a talented but less committed one or less talented but committed one, how he deals with wins and losses, and how his family supports his strict routine and lifestyle. Towards the end, we talked about how he dated his coach’s daughter for 13 years and got married, how fatherhood changed his life, and the India vs Qatar football match controversy. We ended our conversation by talking about his friendship with Virat Kohli, what they usually talk about, and how Virat is as a person.
