Sardar Singh

Sardar Singh-led Indian Men's Hockey Team to begin their campaign at the 27th Sultan Azlan Shah Cup 2018 against World No.2 Argentina on Saturday at the Sultan Azlan Shah Stadium in Ipoh, Perak, Malaysia. Vying for a good start, the Indian team put up a fight against title-contenders and World No.1 Australia in the warm-up match they played on Thursday. Though the team lost 1-2, with Ramandeep Singh, Vice-Captain for the tournament, scoring India's lone goal, Chief Coach Sjoerd Marijne said, "We played three quarters against Australia to adjust to the humidity. We lost 1-2 but I was happy with a lot of things. For the first match together with this new combination, we put a good performance and we will use this match to prepare for the opening game against Argentina."
