FIH Women’s Junior Hockey World Cup: Capt Jyoti vows to change colour of India medal

Jyoti Singh

“Changing the colour of the medal this time will be on top of my agenda and we are well prepared for this,” Jyoti said

Playing hockey as a team member is different as opposed to playing as captain, as it brings a lot of responsibility for one.

·Young hockey captain Jyoti Singh understands this well, and she is ‘ready’ to lead India at the FIH Women’s Junior Hockey World Cup 2025, scheduled to be held in Santiago, Chile, from December 1 to 13.

·       India have so far won bronze in the event once in 2013 before finishing fourth in 2022, but Jyoti wants to change the colour of the medal this time as she feels that India are well prepared and players have the guts to make it happen this time.

·       “Changing the colour of the medal this time will be on top of my agenda and we are well prepared for this,” Jyoti said on Wednesday. “We have been doing well in the recent past and hope for a much better show this time at the World Cup,” she added.
