Age, they say, makes you wiser. But as he turns 29 today (Friday, May 28), hockey Olympian Devindar Walmiki remains as clueless as he was in 2017 about his sudden ouster from the Indian hockey set-up.

This, despite a goal-scoring India debut in the 2015 Hockey World League Semi-Final in Belgium, a decent individual outing at the 2016 Rio Olympics, a gold medal at the Asian Champions Trophy in Malaysia the same year and a winner’s medal with Kalinga Lancers at the Hockey India League in 2017.
