India hockey forward Akashdeep Singh is a fairly simple man and has an equally uncluttered approach to the sport. In the FIH Men’s Series Finals here, Akashdeep has scored five goals in three matches so far. On his part, Akashdeep says he tries to maintain positive thoughts and use visualisation of match situations to prepare. Akashdeep, who is employed by Punjab Police, wants to improve in one particular area. His talent was recognised early when he attracted the highest bid of $84,000 in the Hockey India League (HIL) players’ auction in 2015.
