I first kicked a soccer ball when I was 12. My early exposure to playing the sport earned me many accolades at the zonal and district levels. I still remember my first goal, where I scored a 90+5 minute header like Sergio Ramos did in the 2014 Champions League final against Atletico Madrid. Except for the fact that I’m 6’1’’ and played as a No. 9. I am a die-hard fan of Lionel Messi and FC Barcelona. Ironically, engineering or architecture was the plan, but I couldn’t let my impeccable knowledge of soccer go to waste. So here I am, an experienced soccer writer at EssentiallySports after covering 1000+ articles on Wrexham AFC's exquisite revival and Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami journey. Soccer isn’t my only forte, as I also play and stay active in various sports, such as basketball and tennis. Shockingly, as a Blaugrana, I’m a Rafael Nadal fan.

My name is Saransh Chauhan and I am an experienced soccer writer at EssentiallySports. With over a year of experience at EssentiallySports, I have covered various aspects of the magnificent sport. While I strive to provide comprehensive coverage of core sports topics, I also explore off-court and entertainment subjects. As a fan, I have always shown a liking towards players with exceptional dribbling skills and playmaking abilities; Ozil, Xavi, Iniesta, and Neymar, for example. And unsurprisingly, the one I admire the most is none other than the legendary Lionel Messi. However, my expertise isn't confined to soccer alone. Other than soccer I'm also a huge fan of the WWE and I have always had a preference for heels over babyfaces, which is why Randy Orton and Edge are my all-time favorites. Additionally, in my free time, I also like to enjoy immersing myself in the captivating world of video games.
