Manpreet Singh becomes India’s most-capped men’s hockey player after earning his 413th appearance for the country during an FIH Pro League match against Germany, according to multiple reports. The milestone comes as he surpasses former captain and current Hockey India president Dilip Tirkey, who previously held the record with 412 international appearances.
Hockey India also announces a reward for the achievement. Both outlets report that the federation sets the prize at ₹10 lakh in recognition of Manpreet’s new cap record. The reports place the event in the context of India’s Pro League fixtures, where players often add caps during ongoing international competition.
Taken together, the coverage confirms the timing of the record—Manpreet’s 413th match for India against Germany in the FIH Pro League—and the change in the national caps leaderboard, with Tirkey’s long-standing mark being overtaken. The reports also agree on the reward amount announced by Hockey India.
