Hockey: Ranchi Royals To Bank On An Experienced Mix And Local Support In Women's HIL
Maria Sofia Darnay Elias: Ahead of the second season of the Women’s Hockey India League (HIL), Ranchi Royals are preparing to hit the ground running for a fresh challenge as they begin their campaign in their own backyard. After retaining the likes of Neha Goyal, Ishika Chaudhay, and Rutuja Dadaso Pisal, the team made some key additions to its ranks at the mini-auction that was held in September.
The Royals go into the current season with two Indian goalkeepers in the side. Madhuri Kindo will be expected to contribute off the bench like the previous season, while the addition of the national team goalkeeper Bichu Devi Kharibam strengthens their first line of defence.
In their backline, Ranchi Royals boast a solid mix of experienced Indian players and talented international stars. Nikki Pradhan (197 senior caps for India) and Ishika Chaudhary (76 senior caps for India) will be expected to be their pillars in the defence, alongside the Argentine duo of Lucina von der Heyde and Maria Sofia Darnay Elias.
