Star-studded Soorma Hockey Club eye HIL glory
The Daily Guardian
|December 25, 2025
After topping the points table in the inaugural season before narrowly missing out in the final, JSW Soorma Hockey Club will head into the second season of the Women's Hero Hockey India League (HIL) determined to go one step further as they mount another serious title challenge.
One of JSW Soorma Hockey Club's biggest strengths lies in their goalkeeping department. The team boasts legendary goalkeeper and Co-Captain Savita, who recently achieved the landmark feat of 300 international caps for India, underlining her longevity and impact at the highest level. She was also named 'Goalkeeper of the Tournament' last season and will continue to guide the team from the post. Savita will be supported by Nidhi, the first-choice goalkeeper for the Indian Junior Women's Team, who enjoyed a strong outing at the recently concluded FIH Hockey Women's Junior World Cup in Chile. Having the first-choice goalkeepers of both the Indian senior and junior women's teams gives JSW Soorma Hockey Club a significant advantage between the posts.
