Junior career

[edit]

Singh made his debut for India Junior Team against New Zealand. He scored 9 goals at the 2014 Sultan of Johor Cup. His team won the tournament by defeating Great Britain 2–1 in the final. For his outstanding performances he was awarded Man of the Tournament Award. He scored 4 goals at 2015 Sultan of Johor Cup.

Senior career

[edit]

Senior team debut (2015)

[edit]

Singh received his maiden call-up for senior team in April 2015 when he was selected for the 3-match series against Japan.[13] But he was dropped from the team for the next tournament which was the 2014–15 Men's World League Semifinals.[14]

Highs and lows (2016)

[edit]

Singh returned to the team for 2016 Sultan Azlan Shah Cup.[15] He scored his 1st ever goal for national team against the Japanese team which helped the team win the match 2–1.

He was named in the Indian squad for 2016 Olympics.[19][20] Singh had a disappointing outing at the Rio Olympics 2016. He failed to score a single goal. His coach claimed he had unperformed and had not done justice to the outstanding talent and prowess that he possessed as a player. The team lost to Belgium in the quarter-finals 1-3. Out of six games, India managed to win only two which was a disappointing conclusion to their Olympic campaign. Singh was dropped from the team for 2016 Asian Champions Trophy and 4 Nations invitational tournament after the disastrous Olympics campaign.

Return to the team (2017)

[edit]

After his improved performances at the 2016 Junior World Cup, Singh returned to the national team for 2017 Sultan Azlan Shah Cup.[21][22] He scored 2 goals (27th minute and 47th minute) in the match against New Zealand which the team won comfortably 3–0.

India easily won the match 5–1. He again scored 2 goals in the next match against Bangladesh in the 28th and 47th minute. The team won the match 7–0.

Singh led the Indian field hockey team to a gold medal win at the 2022 Asian Games by defeating the defending champions Japan 5–1 in the final.[31] As winners India qualified directly for the 2024 Summer Olympics.[32][33] He was the top scorer for India, netting 13 goals at the Asian Games, and showcased his expertise as a penalty corner specialist.

Start of captaincy (2022–2023)

[edit]

Singh was appointed captain ahead of the 2022–23 season of the Pro League.[34] He was retained as the captain for the 2023 World Cup.[35] India were knocked out on penalties by New Zealand in the crossover stage, ahead of the quarter-finals,[36] and finished joint ninth after a win over South Africa.[37] However, Singh had a particularly successful year and went on to score 42 goals from 33 matches.[38] On 10 February 2024, he scored twice in the opening match against Spain in the 2023–24 edition of the Pro League. The first was a penalty corner conversion while the second came off a penalty stroke.[39] He scored a match-saving equaliser from another penalty corner conversion in India's next match against the Netherlands, his 200th appearance for the nation. The match ended in a 2–2 draw.[38]

Singh's consistent performance was key to the success.[41][42]

Due to his excellent performance, he earned the moniker of Sarpanch Sahab by sports commentator Sunil Taneja and the media followed through. After winning the bronze medal Prime Minister Narendra Modi called the team and congratulated them.[43]
