Striker Sukhjeet wants to cement his place in Indian hockey team

Sukhjeet Singh, who braved a career-threatening back injury four years ago, made a successful India debut here last month and is now eyeing to hold on to his spot in the national senior hockey team. Sukhjeet received his first-ever call-up for the senior National camp in 2018, but failed to make that opportunity count after sustaining a back injury during a routine recovery process and eventually found himself out of the 33-member core group. But he didn't give up hope and showed a lot of grit and determination to claw his way back into the reckoning.
