'It’ll be a matter of great pride for me and my family if I make the squad for Paris 2024 Olympics,' says Indian Men's Hockey Team defender Jarmanpreet Singh
The 27-year-old has made 106 appearances for the Indian Men's Hockey Team so far
New Delhi: Jarmanpreet Singh, a defender with 106 appearances for the Indian Men’s Hockey Team, debuted in the 2018 Men’s Hockey Champions Trophy in Breda, where India finished second. Since then, he has amassed a number of accolades, including winning the Gold in the 2018 Men’s Asian Champions Trophy in Muscat, Oman, and clinching the Silver medal in the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. Jarmanpreet also won the Gold medal with the Indian Men’s Hockey Team in the Asian Games in Hangzhou in 2023.

For the Indian men’s field hockey team, one of the biggest obstacles in their way at any major international tournament in the 21st century is a strong Australian side. The Aussies just seem to have India’s number: no matter which players are on the green pitch, the result rarely defies the predictable. But in the first half of the last century, it was India that was the hockey giant, flicking away Australians at will. An excellent display of its dominance was in 1935, when a visiting team captained by the extraordinarily talented Dhyan Chand went Down Under.
