Indian hockey's quiet yet formidable force, Mandeep Singh, might not boast the fame of his teammates, but he commands respect on the field. Defenders fear his prowess when he's at the frontline.

At 29, Mandeep's dedication to the sport remains unshaken, with his sister Bhupinderjeet Kaur revealing that he grows restless when away from the national camp for too long. His love for hockey stems from childhood, where he'd skip meals just to practice.

Mandeep's standout performance at the Tokyo Olympics earned India a bronze, with the nation's excitement reaching a fever pitch. Despite his success, he prefers a low profile, focusing solely on the love for the game. Kaur is optimistic about India's chances at the Paris Olympics, predicting a golden return.
