India's star drag-flicker Rupinder Pal Singh has announced his retirement from International hockey. Singh announced his decision via social media, where he wrote,
“I believe it is time for me to make way for young and talented players to experience every great joy I have felt in these last 13 years of representing India.”
“I am leaving the team feeling happy and content as we have conquered the greatest dream which was to win an Olympic medal for India,” the 30-year-old further added.
The Olympic bronze medal-winning player first played for India in 2008 and went on to play 223 matches for the country.
Rupinder was an integral part of the Indian hockey team that won the bronze medal in the Tokyo Olympics under the leadership of Manpreet Singh.
