During the lockdown, Saru and Baru started a series called Off The Field on the insider app. They spoke to players and administrators in football across India to get a feel for the context in which the game is played. We are now releasing episodes weekly of the conversation. This week we are releasing the show we did with Narender Gahlot and Neeraj Kumar.

Both Narender and Neeraj are the young guns who are the future of football in India and play for Jamshedpur FC. They talk about their short journey till now, experience in playing in ISL and professionalism brought into football in India. We also talk about representing India at the international stage.

We talk about the difficulties in becoming professional football players in India, various aspects of training and preparation and also the challenges and the rewarding nature of the job. Enjoy this chat with the two fine gentlemen and do leave feedback or any queries. Enjoy the podcast!
