    Hockey India Awards: Indian men's team forward Gurjant Singh has announced his retirement from international hockey at the Hockey India Awards ceremony held in New Delhi on Friday.

    The 31-year-old striker brings to a close a decorated career spanning nearly a decade, 130 international caps, and 33 goals, leaving behind a legacy as a key figure in India's modern-day hockey revival.

    Born on 26 January 1995 in Khailara, Amritsar, Gurjant rose through the junior ranks quickly, catching the eye with his pace and sharp instincts. He played a central role in one of Indian hockey's most celebrated moments: the Junior World Cup triumph in Lucknow in 2016. After scoring in the final to secure the gold, he made his senior international debut in 2017 and became a mainstay in the Indian attacking line.
