Vivek Sagar Prasad: India's new hope for the Youth Olympics

This young midfielder, trained by the legendary hockey player Dhyan Chand's illustrious son, ex-world champion Ashok Kumar, is on the cusp of history as he leads India to their first ever edition of field hockey [Hockey 5s] at the Youth Olympics.

From the lows of finishing outside the medal bracket in his debut Commonwealth Games, to the highs of making it for the first time to the Youth Olympics, this cheeky midfielder from Hoshangabad district, Madhya Pradesh has seen it all.

While it would be too early to determine what future has in store for Vivek Prasad, a stint at the upcoming FIH Champions Trophy, as well as the Jakarta Asian Games will work wonders for this young colt. Who knows if a success in either of these inspires Vivek to achieve the unthinkable?
