💨 Abstract

Dutch field hockey player Lars Balk, who has joined UP Rudras for the Hockey India League (HIL), is enthusiastic about the challenges and opportunities the league offers. He is eager to help his team by stopping penalty corners from Indian captain Harmanpreet Singh and his former Dutch teammate, Jip Janssen. Balk admires India's recent Olympic bronze medals and believes the HIL will help them advance towards a gold medal.
