V. Baskaran, captain of the 1980 Moscow Olympics hockey team, said Ravinder Pal Singh was a complete player. Ravinder, who played as centre-half in the Indian team at the 1980 Moscow Olympics, died on Saturday after battling Covid-19. On the Moscow Olympics squad, Baskaran said, “It was a settled team with me in left-half position, Somayya in right-half and Ravinder in centre-half.” According to Baskaran, Ravinder’s best performance at Moscow came during the 2-2 draw against Spain. “He was everywhere, was fearless and played wonderfully well,” he said while adding that Ravinder was a regular feature in the Murugappa All-India invitation hockey tournament.
