'I Don’t Let Raider In Me Affect My Captaincy', Says Puneri Paltan’s Captain Aslam Inamdar
“I don’t let the raider in me affect my captaincy. You have to play according to what the game demands. I’ve been in this field for 15 years, and I know my potential. I’m confident. Sometimes, you have to step back for the team. Even if someone scores 200–250 points in a season, and if the team finishes 8th, 9th, or 12th, it’s of no use. As captain, I have to stay on the mat and keep the team stable, even if I don’t score a point. Winning is what matters. If a raid is on, I don’t hold back, I go for it. I’ve come back from injury, and I know I can do better. I’m happy with how I’m playing now. I’m confident and make decisions for the team," Inamdar said during the Media Day organised by JioStar.
Speaking about the team’s philosophy under head coach Ajay Thakur, he added, "Improvement is continuous; you can’t stay at one level. There will be shortcomings and off days. The coach and I tell the boys, ‘When you lose, don’t treat it as the end; when you win, don’t get overconfident. Learn and move forward. Negative thoughts only create problems.’ Ajay Thakur sir and I continue to coordinate and work on our gaps. His message is simple: ‘Play your game, play well, and the team should win.’ He trusts our potential and guides us on where to improve. He knows us well, and that’s what makes this team special."
