Indian hockey team midfielder Jaskaran Singh says he is learning the tricks of the trade from
senior players like captain Manpreet Sin Jaskaran, son of hockey Olympian and former India
coach Rajinder Singh Jr is currently training with the men's senior core group for the upcoming
Tokyo Olympics at the Sports Authority of India (SAI) Centre here.
Manpreet, striker Mandeep Singh and Jaskaran all hail from Jalandhar in Punjab. " Our homes
are around 2-3 km apart. They both have been helping me a lot. It's important to have a good
understanding between a midfielder and a striker, and I feel understanding comes naturally to
us because we have been playing together since a long time," Jaskaran said. " Even Manpreet
along with other senior players in the team also guided me throughout. Whenever I feel I am in
doubt, I speak to them to get better clarity," said the midfielder, who made his international
debut in 2019.
