Chinmay is a soccer writer at EssentiallySports, and his soccer journey kicked off with a video of an 18-year-old kid from Madeira weaving through Europe’s top defenders at Old Trafford. You know who we’re talking about—Cristiano Ronaldo, aka the GOAT (depending on who you ask!). Ever since that moment, Chinmay’s been hooked, and no, his favorite club isn’t hard to guess! With a math and data science background, Chinmay’s the kind of guy who sees stats as more than just numbers—they’re the magic that makes game-winning goals happen. When he’s not deep-diving into the latest soccer stories or writing match recaps, he enjoys penning poetry, as those verses fuel the creative writer in him. Outside of soccer, Chinmay’s a tennis nut (with prime Novak Djokovic as his all-time favorite) and a cricket aficionado.
