    "Great Opportunity To Prove Myself”: Araijeet Hundal Ready For FIH Men’s Pro League Challenge After Strong Injury Comeback

    Junior World Cup Tamil Nadu: After making a strong return from injury through an impressive campaign in the Men’s Hockey India League (HIL), one of India’s rising and most promising forwards, Araijeet Singh Hundal, is set to feature for in the upcoming FIH Men’s Pro League 2025–26 matches from February 10 to 15 at the Birsa Munda Hockey Stadium. India will play their first match against Belgium on February 11.

    Araijeet entered the HIL season after recovering from an injury during training that forced him to miss the FIH Hockey Men's Junior World Cup Tamil Nadu 2025, where hosts India went on to win the bronze medal. Reflecting on his recovery and return, the young forward shared, “Missing the Junior World Cup due to my injury was very difficult for me mentally. The doctors suggested surgery, but I believed in my recovery and decided not to go for it. I focused completely on my rehab and exercises, and more than anything, it was about mentality. I was clear that I wanted to come back stronger, and I recovered quite quickly just in time for the Hero HIL season.”

    Araijeet enjoyed a productive HIL campaign with Ranchi Royals, scoring three goals during the tournament, including one in the final, as his side finished runners-up. The forward credited the league for helping him regain momentum and confidence after time away from the field.
