He played the full match as Shillong Lajong drew 0–0.[6]

Delhi Dynamos (loan)

Delhi Dynamos announced that they had signed Sana along with his club team-mate Rupert Nongrum on loan from Shillong Lajong for the 2016 Indian Super League season.[7] Under coach Gianluca Zambrotta, Sanna featured in a total of 12 games for the Dynamos, playing the majority of the time in his preferred position at center back.

On 5 September 2020, Sana penned a two-year deal with Hyderabad.[8] He played a crucial role and helped the team winning 2021–22 Indian Super League.[9][10]

On July 24, 2016, it was announced that Sana had been called for an India National Team preparatory camp along with his Shillong Lajong teammate Isaac.[11] Sanna made it to the 20 man India National team squad to play an unofficial friendly against Bhutan on August 13, 2017.[12] Sana was featured in the game against Bhutan coming on as a 47th-minute substitute for Dhanpal Ganesh.[13] He was also an unused substitute when India took on Puerto Rico in a FIFA Friendly in Mumbai on September 3, 2017.[14]

Personal life

He pulled out of the Indian football team camp in Bhubaneswar ahead of the 2023 Intercontinental Cup for this reason.[17]
