Proud and Happy Moments | Dr. Manit Arora
News
It gives us immense pleasure to share that Harmanpreet Singh whom Dr. Manit Arora had operated 2 years ago for ACL surgery is now a Captain of Indian Hockey Team. The 27-year-old will be India's trump card at the World Cup and the hosts will count on him to get the goals. The sound of Harmanpreet Singh’s potent drag-flick hammering the board of the goal in India’s last practice session ahead of the World Cup opener against Spain here on Friday had a reassuring and very familiar thud to it.
As Harmanpreet was training, other penalty corner (PC) specialists Amit Rohidas, Nilam Sanjeep Xess, Varun Kumar and Jugraj Singh joined in. But from the body language, instructions and quality of flicks it was clear who the No 1 PC specialist is in the Indian dressing room. Let alone drag-flicking, Harmanpreet didn’t even play or watch hockey till he was 12 – an age by when most hockey players are already at the gates of the sub-junior setup. With no hockey background in his family, the India skipper never got exposed to the game.
