New Delhi, Oct 7 (PTI) The calm leadership of Harmanpreet Singh was the defining point behind the Indian men’s hockey team’s gold-winning effort at the Hangzhou Asian Games, reckoned mercurial forward Dhanraj Pillay, a trait that reminded him of ‘Captain Cool’ MS Dhoni.
Dhanraj, who led India to the 1998 Bangkok Asian Games triumph, said Harmanpreet, who netted 13 goals to emerge as India’s leading goal-scorer at Hangzhou, never buckled under pressure.
“To a large extent, the credit (for the victory) goes to Harmanpreet’s captaincy. He is the Mahendra Singh Dhoni of Indian hockey.
“He keeps guiding the team from behind, does not allow emotions to overpower him and remains calm under pressure,” Dhanraj told
