NEW DELHI: Rising hockey stars Deepika and Araijeet Singh Hundal have expressed their delight after being nominated for the prestigious Hockey India 7th Annual Awards 2024.
She also netted three goals during the just-concluded India leg of FIH Hockey Pro League. Interestingly, Deepika's all three goals (first against England, which India won 3-2, second against Germany, which India won 1-0, and third against the mighty Dutch, which India won in a shootout) came in matches that India won.
He further added, "I am very happy to be nominated again, this was an important year for me, with the Asian Champions Trophy being the highlight for me. For young players, it is very motivating and regardless of who wins, I am happy that my efforts are recognised."
