India captain Harmanpreet Singh's blistering form over the past year has found him on the list of several awards, including the FIH Player of the Year 2024, but what truly holds a special place in his heart is the Hockey India Balbir Singh Senior Award for Player of the Year 2024 which is presented to the winner by the family member of the hockey great who was part of Indian Hockey's golden era.

The ceremony for the Hockey India Awards was held earlier this month in New Delhi.

Speaking about the momentous occasion, Harmanpreet said, "This award is just so special for me. Not only is it presented by the family of one of the greatest players in India's hockey history, but the award is also presented in front of an audience that includes several hockey greats from the past and present.

This year, the Hockey India Annual Awards were truly special, as we got to celebrate our achievements amidst the legends of 1975 Hockey World Cup."

He further highlighted that his individual success as a goal machine for India could not have been possible without the support of his teammates.

"I obviously dedicate this award to them and my family who have stood by me like a rock. I have said this many times that if I am scoring goals then it is also their (my team) efforts," the Team India captain was quoted as saying by Hockey India.

Harmanpreet has been in top form for India and was also instrumental in scoring a brace against Spain to win the Olympic bronze medal last year.
