I come from a poor family and have five sisters and one brother. I am the youngest of them. Growing up, I have seen my family struggle financially but now with the HIL money, I know I can help my family live a comfortable life,&#8221; Pandey said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No one in my family ever expected that I would be able to earn so much money through hockey, but it&#8217;s a reality today and everyone at home is very excited for me,&#8221; added the India forward who scored a swashbuckling goal against Canada in the pool matches at Junior World Cup in Lucknow.<\/p>\n<p>Pandey is eager to make most of this experience and said he had waited for this opportunity for long.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I made my debut for the Indian junior team in 2016 and my first India camp was in 2014. I was really hoping to get a chance to play in the HIL and now that I have received that opportunity, I would really like to make the most of it and justify my worth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For the Punjab franchise, Ajit will be part of the forward line alongside veteran S.V. Sunil, Jacob Whetton, Nithin Thimmaiah, Satbir Singh, Jasjit Singh Kular and junior India teammate Armaan Qureshi.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As a forward, I follow Jacob and Sunil bhai a lot.
