“Being part of the first-ever Hockey India Masters Cup is a deeply emotional and exciting moment for me. Hockey has shaped who I am, and to have the chance to return to the field, surrounded by fellow veterans who’ve shared similar journeys, is truly special,” Former Indian Women’s Hockey Team Captain Asunta Lakra.
“This tournament isn’t just about competition—it’s about legacy, passion, and the lifelong bond we all have with the sport.“
