He stopped playing mainly because of injuries. A serious knee injury (including a meniscus problem) required surgery and long recovery time, which made it difficult to continue pursuing professional football at his age.

Dhanraj started sharing his experiences to help young players avoid the mistakes he faced during his football journey. His goal is to spread awareness about football opportunities, trials, academies, and career paths so that the next generation can make better decisions.

Dhanraj’s vision is to support and guide young footballers so they can grow with the right knowledge and opportunities. He believes that with proper guidance, hard work, and better grassroots development, Indian football can reach a much higher level.
