Top 5 Indian players from the 2017 Women's Hockey Asia Cup

#2 Gurjit Kaur

Gurjit Kaur was stoic in defence

While she scored six other goals in the tournament, the crucial brace which helped India surge ahead in the vital semi-final clash against Japan was a vindication of Gurjit Kaur's dependability in big matches. The 22-year old defender was devastating with her drag flicks and penalty corner conversions.

The youngster from Punjab was in clinical form as she stopped rival attacks effortlessly and converted from the spot with a high success rate. Her capacity to remain calm and composed under pressure was a major highlight of India's much-improved defence. Needless to say, she has set high standards with her recent performances and the 2018 World Cup will be a litmus test for her remarkable prowess.
