Bikram is known for his passing abilities and exquisite sliding tackles, which is why people often call him as 'Tackle Lama' in Nepal. His lanky figure gives him advantage in the air and has been able to make most of it too. Nepal's famous victory over India in 2013 SAFF Championship was inspired by his header, which was tapped in by Anil Gurung after rebound off the crossbar. He has won numerous accolades with his club recent being the first ever National League title for Three Star Club in 2015. Lama played every minute of the 15 league matches he started and missed just one due to yellow card suspension.
