Jamal Bhuyan talked about the story of how he rose from failure to success.

Bhuyan woke up from a coma and worked his way to becoming the Bangladesh captain.

Bhuyan was supposed to play for the Copenhagen youth team on November 17, 2006, but he needed to tell the manager that he would not be available for the match.

Before he could do that, the next phase of his life started when he was shown a newspaper in the hospital stating he was shot two days before the start of the match.

The nurse in charge of taking care of him stated that everyone knew where he was, including the manager of the Copenhagen Youth Team.

Bhuyan was shot four times, with one bullet narrowly missing the heart of the football star.

Bhuyan was caught in a gang fight and was lucky to survive the horrible incident.

He spent four lonely months in the hospital, struggling to recover. Also, he went through 12 surgeries, and he is still suffering from the effects of the gunshot.

Bhuyan had no movement in his right hand due to the incident.

Before the incident, Bhuyan was a world-class player who was ready to break into the first team of the Danish Club Copenhagen.

In his recent interview, the player claimed the doctor informed him he wouldn't be playing football again.

Bhuyan had become a record-breaker for the Bangladesh national team with 75 senior appearances since making his debut in 2013 and becoming the country's captain in 2018.
