Ranchi Royals, Tamil Nadu Dragons Focus On Sharp Execution And Strong Circle Defence
Under Head Coach Harendra Singh: As the Hockey India League (HIL) 2026 season draws closer, the Ranchi Royals and Tamil Nadu Dragons are taking shape, each with a clear tactical identity. While the Royals are built around speed, versatility and attacking transitions, the Dragons have focused on a solid defensive unit backed by top-class goalkeeping and reliable penalty-corner options.
Ranchi Royals enter the league as the newest franchise, replacing the former Team Gonasika, and have assembled a squad that emphasises flexibility in midfield and quick movement across the field.
The team is led by Manpreet Singh, who recently became only the second Indian player to reach 400 international caps. Under Head Coach Harendra Singh, the Royals have paired Manpreet with Belgium’s Tom Boon, the 2025 FIH Player of the Year, forming a midfield partnership capable of controlling the tempo of matches.
