We all know that Indian hockey is in the crapper. We have gone from the high of Chak De India, to the low of the Phir Dil Do Hockey Ko debacle circa 2010 World cup.
But all is not completely unwell.
Brave young faces are appearing with a new found zeal for the game. An aggression never seen before in India.
Former National plyayer Sunil Ekka did his bit getting hockey back in the limelight, when he struck veteran umpire RS Suriya Prakash on the head with his hockey stick during the All-India MCC-Murugappa Gold Cup. [link]
He has been suspended for the rest of the tournament, and hopes that he will get the maximum punishment – a six month suspension, during which he will further hone his hockey skills.
Ekka was unavailable for comment, but must be very proud of his achievement. He hopes to become the face of Indian hockey, bringing with him a new found killer passion for the game. We hear he comes with a tag line of Karo ya Maro (Do or Die).
We are not convinced though. We still think they should bring back Shahrukh Khan as the coach of the Indian team. There’s no other way out.
