For someone who was talented and untiring, H.S. Prannoy remained a fringe player for too long before emerging out of the shadows of the lead performers. He is now India’s biggest medal hope at the World championships this year and next year’s Paris Olympics.

In a chat with The Hindu, Prannoy shared his thoughts on the game and the goals ahead.
