Career

Mukhi was raised in Dhatkidih Harijan Bustee in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand and is the son of Chhotelal Mukhi, a former local amateur footballer.[1] In June 2015, after representing Jharkhand in the Sub Juniors U15 Championship, Mukhi, along with four other players and his head coach, were suspended for submitting false birth certificates and playing while overaged.[2]

Mukhi eventually joined Tata Steel in the local Jharkhand Football League and then joined the Jamshedpur B team.[1] After performing well for the reserves in the I-League 2nd Division, Mukhi was signed for the first-team Jamshedpur side for the Indian Super League.[1] He proceeded to make his professional debut for the club on 7 October 2018 against Bengaluru. Mukhi came on as a 71st minute substitute for Jerry Mawihmingthanga and scored the equalizing goal for club ten minutes later to make it 1–1. The game soon ended 2–2 and Mukhi earned the ISL Emerging Player of the Match award.[3][4]
