Atmosphere and energy you get from fans is what we all play for: Harmanpreet Singh

“It was definitely one of the biggest tournaments for me, and especially with the Senior Team. Having won the FIH Junior Men’s World Cup in 2016, the Odisha Men’s Hockey World League Final 2017 gave me the chance to experience the thrills of playing the highest form of hockey at the grandest of stages,” expressed Harmanpreet.

“We did not have the best of starts in our Pool matches, but I think we finished the tournament really strongly. However, what I really learned from that tournament was the fact that if you keep pushing hard, you’ll eventually achieve your goals, regardless of which or how big an opponent you’re facing,” added the drag-flicker, whose team lost 2-3 to England, 0-2 to Germany after their first Pool match against Australia.
