Dilip Tirkey: Best wishes

India’s best hockey player of late has just retired.

“I could not fulfil my dream of clinching the World Cup title and Olympic medals. I did not get the chance to play in the World Cup and would not be able to play in the Commonwealth Games at home. This grudge will remain throughout my life,” he said

He was one of the best defenders in the world in recent memory. More importantly, a big role model for his tribe in Orissa.
