Bengaluru: The Indian men's hockey team midfielder Rajkumar Pal, who made his debut for the Indian Senior Team against Belgium last year, expressed that he is very happy with the way he has started his international career. In a short span of time, the 23-year-old has already made some impactful performances for the Indian team in big competitions. 

"The way you start anything is very crucial and therefore I really wanted to get off to a good start in my international career. It was a dream come true for me when I got the chance to walk on the field with the Indian team for the match against Belgium in the FIH Hockey Pro League last year and I am really happy with the way things have panned out for me so far. Then the two goals I scored against Australia in the FIH Hockey Pro League gave me a lot of confidence and I have just looked to carry forward the momentum from thereon," said the midfielder.
