NEW DELHI: His fitness can still trump that of the best of players on the international turf. But Hockey India has maybe spotted something else which not many others could see, since Sardar Singh hung up his hockey stick towards the end of 2018.
The mercurial playmaker, who also led the Indian team during his 314-caps-long career spread across 12 years, received a call from Hockey India a couple of weeks ago. The next thing the hockey world knew was that Sardar was appointed as the coach of the India 'A' men's team.
