The Hindu  

These are testing times for sportsmen. The HI has a vision programme and the mission has been largely successful with men's team being ranked at No.4 in the world and women ranked at No. As Sardar pointed out, "One of the key things that has helped both the men and women's team improve their performance and climb up the world ranking is the professional approach they have inculcated over the years and providing a well-rounded support system for the team." “There is now plenty of emphasis on diet, mental-preparation and fitness which has really helped the team and has made players self-conscious about what they eat, how they recover, and pay attention to their overall fitness.” The immediate target for HI when it took over the game’s administration was to ensure the qualification for the Olympic Games in the men’s and women’s categories. India in the current scenario boasts of the best world-class facilities to host events, the world saw India's hosting capabilities during the 2018 Men's World Cup which raised the bar at a global level.” Giving credit to the HI League, Sardar observed, "It helped players raise the bar.
