Veteran forward Yadwinder Singh has been part of the national side since 2005. A late starter, he immersed himself in the sport upon introduction, seemingly eager to make up for lost time. His passion for the sport is evident at first glance of him playing.

Hailing for Rasulpur Khurd, a small village in Punjab, Yadwinder plays for ONGC. Prior to making the switch, he helped the Railways to three consecutive national championships. The galvanising agent of the Indian team is known for his aggression and energy on offense and defense, and never has a resting moment. Yadwinder models his style of play on his idol, Kevin Garnett.
