Amit Rohidas, Rajinder Singh Achieve Milestone Caps In World Cup Clash
Hockey India President Dr Dilip: Indian men's hockey team defender Amit Rohidas on Friday earned his 250th International Cap for India, while midfielder Rajinder Singh completed his 50th international cap, with both milestones achieved during India's 7th/8th place classification match against Belgium at the FIH Hockey Men's World Cup 2026.
The veteran defender from Odisha's Sundergarh district, who plays the crucial role of first rusher in India's penalty corner defence, made his international debut at the Sultan Azlan Shah Cup 2013 in Ipoh, Malaysia.
Since then, Rohidas has become one of the most experienced campaigners in the current setup, having been part of India's bronze medal-winning squads at both the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Olympic Games, and having served as vice-captain at the FIH Odisha Hockey Men's World Cup 2023.
