Playing for Uttar Pradesh Wizards for the third time in a row, India’s forward S.K. Uthappa looks forward to putting up a good show and making it to the finals this season.
“I am looking to push a bit harder this year and make it to the top two and eventually emerge as the winners of the league. Not only it’s a good learning experience for us, but a great opportunity for every player to be a part of this league,” said Uthappa.
In the first edition of the league, Uthappa showcased his talent and ability, and helped the Uttar Pradesh-based franchisee claim the third spot win. In the second season, the 23-year old player played with more maturity and got his name featured in the list of the ‘ Man of the Match ’
With all the experience and skill set developed in the upcoming league, Uthappa is striving hard not to miss any scoring opportunities.
“I am sure it will be a great season of Hero Hockey India League 2015. We not only have some of the best players from the world but also the top coaches. I am expecting that the team will do much better than what we did last season,” he said.
With an aim to give a tough challenge to the opponents and come out as a stronger team, Uthappa will find support of the strong forward-line. The forward position will see players like Tushar Khandker, Ramandeep Singh, Nikkin Thimmaiah and Jeroen Hertzberger.
