Manpreet Becomes Second-highest Capped Indian Men’s Hockey Player Of All Time With 400 International Caps
Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna: India midfield maestro Manpreet Singh became the only second Indian hockey player to don the international cap for the 400th time when he took the field on Sunday for the Hockey Pro League 2024/25 match against Australia, adding his name to an elite list of legends who have graced the world stage with unwavering consistency and heart.
The 33-year-old midfielder from Punjab, a place synonymous with Indian hockey folklore, now stands as the second-highest capped Indian men’s player of all time, behind only former captain and current hockey India president Dilip Tirkey (412 caps).
Speaking on the milestone, an emotional Manpreet said, "I still remember the goosebumps I felt in my debut game. To be standing here, 400 games later, is beyond anything I imagined. This milestone is shared with every coach who pushed me, every teammate who backed me, and every fan who believed in me when I needed it most. I’m still learning, still growing — and I play with the same hunger today as I did at 19."
