Rani Rampal to be SAI coach

Indian women's hockey team forward Rani Rampal is set to become an assistant coach with the Sports Authority of India after SAI relaxed its recruitment norms owing to her fine brilliant record.
The Haryana-girl came into limelight when she became a part of the Indian Team to the 2010 World Cup at the age of 15.

A year before that, she had played a key role in guiding India to the Champions Challenge Tournament title in Kazan, Russia by scoring four goals. She was adjudged the 'Young player of the Tournament' for this performance.

She has also been the only Indian player to be nominated for the FIH 'Women's Young Player of the Award' in 2010. Her outstanding performance helped India win a bronze medal in the Junior World Cup 2013.

"Undoubtedly, Ms Rampal is one of the most accomplished hockey players of current times. She has also played an important role in the performance of the Indian team at the recently-concluded World League Semi-Finals which has almost assured an Olympic berth of the team," SAI said in a statement.

“Considering her achievements, Sports Authority of India has decided to offer <g data-gr-id="24">post</g> of Assistant Coach in SAI in relaxation of the Recruitment Rules”, SAI said.
