In red-ball, however, he had to bide his time. With Parthiv leading the state and donning the gloves till 2019-20, Het was waiting for his opportunity. Through those formative years, the veteran India keeper had taken Het under his wing. "When he used to play, we used to keep and train together. He used to give me tips and asked me to train with him during the season, we used to practice match situations and so on. I was learning from outside. He asked me to be patient and learn. 'For keepers, there is only one spot and that my time will come. It will happen'," Het recalls.
