Veteran Indian hockey midfielder Manpreet Singh says the upcoming Hockey World Cup could be his last and that he is approaching the tournament with that mindset. He expresses confidence in India’s ability to contend for the title, citing the team’s talent and experience, including success at the Olympics.
Singh’s comments emphasize taking the competition match by match and maintaining respect for every opponent throughout the event. Both outlets describe a focus on preparation, fitness, and the team’s balance between defence and attack, suggesting India plans to rely on strong defensive work to support scoring chances. While the sources differ mainly in detail, they broadly align on his framing of the tournament as potentially his final World Cup appearance and his determination to make it count.
