New Delhi: 2017 hasn’t so far been a year that Indian hockey hoped for. After the high of Champions Trophy silver, an improved Olympic show, Junior World Cup triumph and Narinder Batra becoming the International Hockey Federation (FIH) president – all in 2016, the turn of events on and off the field left the last eight months full of ups and downs. And heading into the crucial year-ending tournaments – the Asia Cup in Dhaka and the Hockey World League (HWL) Finals in Bhubaneswar, it needed someone from Hockey India to step up, not just to ease the nerves of a gobsmacked Indian fan but also reassure about the health of Indian Hockey.
