Former India hockey players Gagan Ajit Singh and Rajpal Singh may have done duty as security personnel at Mohali, but their younger peers got a feel of the action at the ICC World Twenty20 in a completely different capacity.
In a fine gesture, the Indian hockey team — in the city for a preparatory camp — were invited by the Board of Control For Cricket in India (BCCI) to watch their cricket counterparts take on Bangladesh at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Wednesday.
Clad in red t-shirts, head coach Roelant Oltmans and his players savoured the view from the terrace stand.
“The entire squad is here. The atmosphere at the stadium is fantastic. We are having a good time,” defender V.R. Raghunath told The Hindu .
“It is a privilege to be here. We are thankful to the BCCI for this gesture,” the penalty corner specialist added.
