    'Grateful To My Teammates And Coaching Staff For Believing In Me: Udita On Player Of The Tournament Honour At Women’s Asia Cup

    Asia Cup: Indian women’s hockey team defender Udita was ecstatic on being adjudged the Player of the Tournament as her team clinched the silver medal at the Women’s Asia Cup 2025. Team India lost the title clash 1-4 against hosts China on Sunday.

    Udita played a key role in the team’s campaign throughout the tournament in the absence of India’s regular drag-flicker Deepika, who was sidelined due to an injury. Udita stepped up and took charge of the team’s penalty corners. Amid the added responsibilities, she brilliantly converted three goals while also fulfilling her defensive duties.

    On being named the Player of the Tournament, Udita said, “It is a proud moment for me to be named the Player of the Tournament. This recognition is very special because I had missed the Pro League matches in Europe earlier this year, and coming back strongly in such an important tournament was always my target. I am grateful to my teammates and coaching staff for believing in me and supporting me throughout this journey.”
