Hockey: Deepika Becomes First Indian To Win Poligras Magic Skill Award
The Poligras Magic Skill Award: Indian women’s hockey forward Deepika created history by becoming the first-ever Indian player to win the prestigious Poligras Magic Skill Award as hockey fans from across the globe voted for her sensational solo field goal against the Netherlands during the Bhubaneswar leg of the 2024-25 FIH Hockey Pro League season.
The 21-year-old attacker earned global recognition for her breathtaking run and finish in the 35th minute during India’s match against world No. 1 the Netherlands, which they won in a shootout after a 2-2 draw.
With India trailing 0-2, Deepika cut through the Dutch defence down the left flank, dribbled along the baseline, dinked the ball over a defender’s stick, and finished it past the goalkeeper to open the scoring for India.
