17-year-old Ba goalkeeper Isikeli Sevanaia

Time is everything for the youngest player in the 2020 Punjas Battle of the Giants semifinals.

However, the year 13 student of AD Patel College in Ba says he has found a way to manage both training and studies.

“Just trying to be on time, just try to manage my time wisely, when it’s time to study I go and study, when it’s time to go for training I go to training before time watching it on TV now in real life I know how it feels to play for big teams”.

Sevanaia is the youngest son of former Ba and national goalkeeper and also namesake Isikeli Seva.

The young Ba goalkeeper says his dad always follow him where he plays and most of the time will shout out advise from the sideline or even embankment.
