Manpreet Singh is now officially the most capped Indian international hockey player. In the game against Germany, which India won 3-1, the 33-year-old and twice Olympic bronze medal winner, crossed Dilip Tirkey’s record of 412 caps.Incidentally, Manpreet opened the scoring for India against Germany, via a field goal. Speaking to the media a day after his record breaking feat, Manpreet revealed he has a few unfinished agendas. A much desired medal at the FIH World Cup – India has never won a medal after winning the 1975 edition – the Asian Games and above all to stay relevant in the team for the 2028 Olympics that is scheduled to be held in Los Angeles, US.“Have I achieved my dream of being a star? Maybe not really. There is a lot more to do still, there is the World Cup, Asian Games, then LA. So, yeah a long way to go still,” Manpreet said.“I would want the coming generations to be inspired by me, like how I was inspired by Pargat Singh. I want to leave a legacy, do enough for the next generation (for them) to want to be like Manpreet, play like Manpreet, win like Manpreet, be famous like Manpreet. I want to be a role model for the youngsters, as much for the game as for my fitness. That is very important for youngsters to understand that Manpreet at 33 is as fit as anyone younger. Just how everyone talks about Virat Kohli’s fitness and training and diet at 36, I would want kids to talk about Manpreet’s fitness and training,” he said.Manpreet further said that being the most capped and the senior most in the team has no meaning other than helping out the team and youngsters.“It is a big honour, playing 413 matches for the country over 15 years and I am proud of it, but it does not change anything. I have always believed in working as a team. As a senior, it is my responsibility to lift a youngster if he makes a mistake or is not feeling confident, help him come back to form,” he said while explaining his role in the team.“My focus has always been on how to improve as a team and I will continue doing that. 413 matches is huge, you have to maintain your fitness and motivation for so long. You need the support of your team, the coaching staff, the federation but it does not mean I stop listening to others because I have played for so long,” he added.London, a low pointManpreet has picked the Indian team’s horror show at the 2012 London Olympics, where the team finished 12th, as the lowest point of this illustrious career and says Tokyo Olympics was the zenith so far.“Highest point of my career would undoubtedly be the Tokyo Olympics bronze medal. Even though we won again in Paris, Tokyo will always be special because it ended the medal drought for Indian hockey. It was a dream come true after 41 years. Every athlete dreams of an Olympic medal but for us, the glory days of Indian hockey was something we had only heard of, it was something the whole country had been waiting for so long,” he said.“As for the lowest, I think it would be the 2012 London, my first Olympics. I was a youngster then, we went there with dreams of doing well but unfortunately we finished 12th and last there, without winning a single match,” he said.
