Indian hockey team captain Sardar Singh replaced by Sreejesh as Captain

-
In one of the most significant decisions in recent times, Hockey India Board named senior goalkeeper PR Sreejesh as the new captain of the national team for the Rio Olympics, removing long-time skipper Sardar Singh.
Sreejesh, one of the finest player in world hockey at the moment, was rewarded captaincy under his leadership, that ended up with a silver medal at the blue riband six-nation Champions Trophy hockey tournament in London.ile photo of Sreejesh Reuters
Sreejesh had a good tournament both as a player and captain as India had their best performance in the past 38 years of the tournament. The team played a brilliant final where they held with the champions Australia to a goalless draw in the regulation time before losing in a controversial shoot-out.
Playmaker SV Sunil, who is also the trump component in the team, has been named vice-captain.
Things fell in place for Sreejesh at the right time and went awey for Sardar, who has been going through a bad time both on and off the field.
His performance has dipped on the field as he is no longer as sharp a midfielder as he used to be. Besides it, the case of rape after promising marriage filled by a British national has also dented his reputation.
Sardar has been the captain of the national team for a number of years and had led the team in London 2012.
While Sardar was rested for the Champions Trophy where India gave their best ever show.
Squad: PR Sreejesh (goalkeeper and Capt), Harmanpreet Singh, Rupinderpal Singh, Kothajit Singh, Surender Kumar, Manpreet Singh, Sardar Singh, VR Raghunath, SK Uthappa, Danish Mujtaba, Devinder Walmiki, SV Sunil, Akashdeep Singh, Chinglensana Singh, Ramandeep singh, Nikkin Thimmaiah.
