“Rugby is more than just a sport. It's a brotherhood. A bond that cannot be broken.”

Growing up in Kolkata was an experience like no other. The sights, smells, and people in the city influenced me in ways I never expected. As a young boy, I was more interested in cricket, but when I moved back to Saudi Arabia, I found my passion for rugby. Playing for my school team, I quickly became known for my speed and agility on the field. Now, as a professional player, I'm proud to represent my country on the international stage.

What do you miss most about Kolkata?

The street food. It's unlike anything you can find in Saudi Arabia.

What's your pre-game ritual?

I always listen to the same playlist while I'm getting ready. It's a mix of traditional Saudi music and some modern rap to get me hyped up.
