Prabhakaran passes away

CHENNAI: V. Prabhakaran, elder brother of Olympian V. Baskaran and a former centre-forward of the State hockey team, passed away here on Thursday. He was 61.

A striker gifted with the power to shoot from every conceivable angle inside the circle, Prabhakaran played for the State for over a decade and a half, and also donned the national colours against Gemany and France in Tests in 1975-76.

Prabhakaran, who played for State Bank as the principal striker for over two decades, is survived by wife.

Baskaran’s two other brothers — V. Jeyasekaran and V. Vasikaran — had passed away a few months ago. — Special Correspondent
