Shrachi Bengal Tigers All Set To Roar In Women's Hockey India League 2025-26

Hockey Junior Asia Cup: Following their third-place finish in the inaugural Women’s Hockey India League (HIL), Shrachi Bengal Tigers are eager to leave a stronger impression in the next edition, starting on December 28.

After retaining key players such as Sushila Chanu Pukhrambam, Mahima Choudhary, and Jennifer Rizzo, the team established a strong core before investing in the mini-auctions. Shrachi Bengal Tigers signed Agustina Gorzelany for INR 42 lakh, making her the highest-paid player at the auction, and also secured Monika for INR 15 lakh, the most expensive Indian player. With strategic signings to match their new lineup, the team aims to clinch the top prize in the second season of the Women’s HIL.

Jennifer Rizzo is expected to lead the goalkeeping department, with the 28-year-old USA star already part of the franchise last season. Alongside her, young Indian goalkeeper Aditi Maheshwari, who helped the Indian Women’s team win gold at the Women’s Hockey Junior Asia Cup 2024, aims to gain valuable experience.
