A sincere letter from the captain of India to hockey fans

To Indian hockey fans all over the world,

We hope this letter will keep you healthy and full of passion for the Olympics.

We are happy to share with you that the women and men’s hockey teams of the Indian National Hockey Team have safely arrived in Tokyo to participate in the Olympic Games. This is an exciting time for the whole team, because there are many obstacles on the way to get here.

Sometimes, due to the situation in the world, the entire game seems to be in doubt. Now that we are here, we feel within reach of our five-year dream.

In hockey, just as individuals without the support of the team are incomplete, the team is also incomplete without the support of the behind-the-scenes staff who are ready for the team.

We would like to thank the coaching staff and support staff who made it possible for us to get here. Our performance on the court is attributed to these dedicated members working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure that we become the best version of ourselves.

We also want to specifically mention the Ministry of Sports, the Sports Authority of India, the Indian Hockey Association, the Indian Olympic Association, and especially the Odisha government. Without their support, we might not even take the flight to Tokyo. Each of them played their part to ensure that we have all the facilities we need, especially during the pandemic year, and we are very grateful to everyone!

In recent months, our team has spent a lot of time in our own team due to the new reality of living and training in a safe biological bubble. All the time the players spend in the company of each other on and off the court makes our respective teams closer than ever.

Because of the challenging situations we deal with, each of us has grown into a hockey player and an individual in life. It is an honor for us to lead our respective teams to participate in the Olympics. This is an honor among our best personal achievements in the field of hockey.

Representing the country in the Olympics is one of the proudest and most special moments in any athlete’s career. This feeling is largely due to the fact that athletes share this exhilarating experience with everyone in their country.

Long before we became Olympians, we were just excited kids. They would watch their hero represent India in the world’s biggest competition every four years. Now that we have been able to get here, we understand how important the support and blessings of every fan who returns to our hometown are. It drives us forward and gives us the strength to fight for our goals.
