I do not know much about Priyanka and Sangita. Has anyone seen them compete in international tournament? With good draw, can we expect a medal in Olympics from Vinesh?
Finally some more Southern representation in Indian hockey. Would be nice to see JSW do a Barcelona and keep the name Bengaluru FC but have it be Bengaluru Hockey Club or something but I doubt Hockey India would allow it.
Oh well, Bangalore Titans it is!
Also, I hope volleyball does not do this, franchise, IPL type leagues are not the key to success or even money... it can work for football, cricket, hockey, and even kabaddi with good support for its base but not every sport can sustain a model like that.
Great News. Is the name Bengaluru Titans confirmed. In PHL an WSH, the name of Bengaluru teams were Bangalore Hi-Fliers and Karnataka Lions. I suggested this many time before. Bangalore has a great tradition of Hockey. Expect atleast 5000 spectators in their stadium. Plus there will be crossover effect between the two franchises.
Nah, originally the Bangalore Indian Super League team was to be named the Bangalore Titans (or Bangaluru Titans) but then obviously Sun Group pulled out (after IMG-Reliance had differences with JSW Group no less) and thus the team was moved to Chennai.
I would just love it if JSW Group just took one off the ISL and named the Hockey team Bengaluru Titans, would be a great "fuck you" to ISL. But of course I realistically hope that does not happen, at least for the reason of messing with IMG-Reliance. Name should be for the fans.
Not a big fan of SportsKeeda 5 series but this is a must read for Indian Hockey Fans. Five young Indian players who played brilliantly in HIL and should be the core of our National Team in coming years. Armaan Qureshi, Dipsan Tirkey, Harjeet Singh, Vikas Dahiya, Harmanpreet Singh.

Still waiting for Basketball and Rugby to get going in it though, it can work for them.
