Since the 2012 London Olympics, Sardar Singh has conquered the hockey league. Despite the banal performance of India at the Summer Olympics in field hockey, Singh was highly appreciated for the role of him, in everything that the Indian hockey team managed to present that can be considered a positive point. According to Moritz Fuerste, the German captain and London Olympic team, the team had improved their game since last time out and the driving force behind such an improved posture is definitely Singh’s leadership qualities. He also pointed out some other changes that can be made to get more out of the team. He said that the Indian team should work harder and learn new techniques from the other teams to keep up. Keeping an open mind is not the general characteristic of India, but exceptions must be made if India plans to rise to the top.
Fuerste, who was the winner of the 2012 FIH Player of the Year award, said Sardar Singh was right to be nominated for the applause alongside him, thanks to his impressive performance throughout the year. Another true testament to Singh’s demand was during the inaugural auction of the Hockey Indian League (HIL), when Sardar Singh was bid for an outstanding amount of USD 78,000 (Rs 42.49 lakh), while VR Raghunath was bought. for USD 76,000 (Rs 42.49 lakhs). 41.40 lakhs). This showed how much the hockey game is worth in India. Fuerste also admitted that India’s hockey fan base is considerably large compared to Germany’s. This revelation is not a big surprise, since hockey is India’s national sporting goal; on the other hand, the Germans are ardent soccer fans.
Another highlight was recently added to Sardar Singh’s profile when he was chosen as the captain to lead India’s eighteen-man hockey team in the second round of the Hero Hockey World League to be held at the Stadium. National Major Dhyan Chand from February 18. to 24. VR Raghunath has been appointed vice-captain of the Indian hockey team. The match will take place as part of the qualifying league for the Hockey World Cup to be held in 2014. India waits with bated breath to see if Singh is just another overrated sports star or the real deal.
