Rani Rampal calls it a day; Hockey India retires her No. 28 jersey
NEW DELHI: Forward Rani Rampal, one of India’s most prolific goal scorers in women's hockey, retired from the game on Thursday "without any regrets". Hailing from a poor family, Rani picked up sports at an early age in her village Shahabad Markanda in Haryana and went on to become the undisputed queen of the sport in the country as she helped the team win many international medals including two in the Asian Games. She came close to adding an Olympic medal to her kitty when the Indian team finished fourth at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
