Following this, he received a further athletic award on April 25th, when his teammates voted him as the Most Improved Player for the 2006-2007 season. After posting a team-leading 14-9 record as the team’s #8 player in 2005-2006, he was awarded the Most Valuable Player award.

For the 2006-2007 campaign, he jumped 3 spots to the tough #5 position and once again led the team with a 15-9 record.

The team also awarded senior Satyajit Seshadri (who also recorded 15 wins) as the Most Valuable Player and junior Jehangir Aibara with the Best Sportsmanship award.
