While the Indian hockey team should consider themselves lucky to have someone like Sardar Singh commanding the midfield almost single-handedly, there could well be a flip side to this too.
Sardar has been a consistent performer for India and bagged the Player of the Tournament award in the team’s Olympic Qualifier-winning campaign in New Delhi earlier this year. The 26-year-old also remains the only Indian player to make it to the International Hockey Federation’s (FIH) All Star Team twice in succession.
