Rutaja Dadaso Pisal, a 23-year-old hockey player from Maharashtra, has become a key midfielder in the Indian women’s hockey team. Starting her journey from school-level Kho Kho, she rose through state and national tournaments to win the Junior Asia Cup in 2023.

The Indian captain said it was not easy to prepare the team physically and mentally when the Games were delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
