Our beloved captain, a passionate sports enthusiast and music lover, has always had an unbreakable bond with athletics. From playing cricket at home with his siblings to training at Eklavya Academy in AGRA, his love for sports only grew stronger. He earned a spot on the school football team, enjoyed swimming, and later explored boxing and shooting at the academy, shaping his competitive mindset. Over the years, he mastered various sports, including hockey, squash, volleyball, and golf, while also encouraging his siblings and cousins to develop diverse athletic skills.

His dedication and versatility ultimately earned him the Gladiator Trophy, a prestigious award at the Cadets Training Wing, MCTE (Military College of Telecommunication Engineering), Mhow. This honor is given to a young cadet who excels in the demanding triathlon of swimming, cycling, and running, a true test of endurance and determination.

In recognition of his remarkable achievements, the Gladiator Trophy has now been renamed the "Gladiator Shubham Trophy", immortalizing his legacy and inspiring future cadets to follow in his footsteps.
