#2 Harmanpreet Singh
The trump card for his team, Harmanpreet Singh is an able successor to the likes of his celebrated senior predecessors like Sandeep Singh, VR Raghunath, Rupinder Pal Singh. He played a crucial role in leading India to a historic final at the FIH Men's Hockey Champions Trophy in 2016.
His drag flicking skills are next only to the likes of stalwarts like Gonzalo Peillat, and he considers ex drag flicker Jugraj Singh as his idol. He has also played a crucial role in the thunderous victory of India at the FIH Junior Hockey World Cup, with 4 crucial goals that assisted India in its dream run to a historic title on home soil after 15 years.
As the World Cup comes near, all eyes will be glued to this drag flicker, who is expected to bring home the coveted podium finish that India is yearning for the last 43 years.
