He was into cricket before switching full-time to shot put based on recommendations by his father. His uncle helped train him initially. His first international medal was at the Asian Athletics Championships in 2017, where he finished second with a throw of 19.77. He won Gold at the 2018 Asian Games with a total record throw of 20.75m.
