Hockey veteran Sardar Singh may not be a part of the Indian team anymore, but that doesn't mean he isn't following its fortunes. The former India captain quit the game after he was not picked in the Indian team for the World Cup, but claims he's over that disappointment now.

"There's no point thinking about it. My heart will always beat for the Indian hockey team. Even when I'm 60, my hockey passion will be as high," Sardar told mid-day following an announcement of his association as an expert coach with healthcare firm GOQii. Speaking of the Indian team's performance at the World Cup so far, Sardar said they have done well and must carry the momentum into the knockout stages.
