Indian men’s hockey team mid-fielder Vivek Sagar Prasad says it feels surreal to be nominated for the FIH Rising Star of the Year award for the second time in his career, having already claimed the honour in the 2019-20 season.
Prasad was part of the team’s historic bronze medal winning feat at the Tokyo Olympics earlier this month. This was the team’s first Olympic medal in over four decades.
