We're More Determined Than Ever to Finish on The Top at Asian Games: Savita Punia

News 18  

The Indian women’s hockey team is more determined than ever to claim the gold medal in the upcoming Asian Games after suffering a heart-breaking loss in the final in 2018 edition, said Commonwealth Games medallist skipper Savita. This time we feel that we are more determined than ever before to finish on the top,” Savita said in the latest episode of Hockey Te Charcha, a podcast series launched by Hockey India. Even when I was not the captain, I knew that I had to share the leadership duties and help the team as a goalkeeper,” said Savita, who recently won the prestigious Hockey India Balbir Singh Senior Award for Player of the Year. “As a senior member on the side, it was my responsibility to help young and less-experienced teammates by sharing my experience with them.” The star goalkeeper said Indian women’s hockey has grown by leaps and bounds, offering financial independence to the players.
