He has a knack for scoring hat tricks. And the Birthday Cup was no exception. Though he failed to score in the last two matches, Nirajan Rayamajhi made history in the Birthday Cup with three consecutive hat tricks in three matches. The 22-year-old RCT striker had a wonderful tournament with 12 goals to his credit. No other player has had such a run in recent times.

A member of the Nepali national squad, Rayamajhi was promoted to the senior team of RCT three years ago. Since then he has never looked back. One of the key members of the RCT strike force, Rayamajhi has been instrumental in RCT's successes over the years. He has been named best player in the tournaments that RCT has won in last two years. Last year, in the Martyrs Memorial League, he scored 9 goals against Bansbari Club.

Rayamajhi has been included in the national side for a year, but has yet to play a stellar role in any international tournament. A fan of Nepali striker Hari Khadka, Rayamajhi hopes to be one of the best strikers in the country. His track record shows he is quite capable of doing so.
