Rohit Danu gunning for international glory after a successful I-League campaign

After taking the I-league by storm, Danu wants an opportunity to showcase his talent at the international stage...

Rohit Danu was never into football. As a kid, he hardly watched any match on television and seldom kicked a football. So, what made Danu take up the sport?

"I was inspired by my elder brother, Naveen. I never used to play football, but he was very much into the game. He could not become a footballer as he is into academics. However, he wanted to live his dreams through me.

"I started training under Neeraj Pandey. I learnt the basics of football from him.
