His uncle also argued that establishing a career in cricket required a lot of financial investment, which his ordinary family would not be able to afford. When Guman started playing, there was no Kabaddi ground in his village. Therefore, his uncle left some of his agricultural land to develop a Kabaddi ground for Guman to practice. He received training from his uncle for three years. Later, Guman joins an academy with his Kabaddi friend Manish. After this he participated in various tournaments. He suffered injuries to his legs, which led to a decline in his performance. Actually, at that time he had thought of leaving sports and taking up a job.
