After Transition Into Senior Set-up, Sujata Kujur Has Eyes On The Olympic Games
Deep Grace Ekka: From the hockey fields of Sundargarh in Odisha, where the sport is a way of life, young Sujata Kujur is quietly scripting her own journey. The 21-year-old defender recently made the transition into the senior set-up of the Indian Women’s Hockey Team and was part of the squad that toured Australia, one of the toughest assignments in international hockey.
Reflecting on her debut tour with the senior team, Sujata said, “The tour was a great experience for me, as it was my first time playing with the senior team. There's always a bit more pressure in such situations, but I learned a lot just by observing the seniors and understanding how they approach training and matches.”
“The senior players were very warm and encouraging right from the beginning. They kept telling me not to take too much pressure and to just focus on playing my natural game. Everyone was very supportive,” she added.
