Early career[edit]
Born in Namakkal, Tamil Nadu, Mohanraj started Playing for Sports Authority of India in Chennai. He went for the under-16 and under-19 state selections, and didn't get selected for either.

Finally, the HAL coach Krishnaji Rao gave him chance.[1]

In 2012-13 with Pune F.C. he picked up yet another I-League runner up medal.
