Selvam Karthi is the new young face making waves in the international hockey arena, employing his shooting skills to the maximum. And in the process, he is providing great joy to Indian fans.
The 21-year-old striker from Ariyalur, a small district in Tamil Nadu, showed nerves of steel in the FIH Pro League in Rourkela in March.
Pitted against Olympic giants and three-time World champions like Australia and Germany, Karthi displayed his wares without a hint of pressure, tallying five goals and becoming India’s top-scorer in the league.
