Having recently triumphed with the Indian squad at the Asian Champions Trophy, Neha now steps into the captaincy role with renewed energy and focus for this landmark event in Indian hockey.
Reflecting on the significance of the inaugural Women's HIL, Neha underscored its importance for the next generation of players.
"We've been waiting for a platform like this for years, and now that it's finally here, it feels surreal. It's a huge opportunity for young girls to showcase their talent on a national stage. This league will also inspire those who didn't make it this season to push harder and aim for the next edition. I'm confident the HIL will help unearth new talent for the Indian team," she said.
Neha, who has been appointed captain of the Odisha Warriors, is eager to take on the new responsibility.
