Very sad news. Former India Hockey player Sandeep Michael has died due to illness. He was 37 years old. Sandeep was a forward and captained India Junior team as well as scored many goals for senior side. He was known for scoring goals in Asia Cup 2003, Afro-Asian Games 2003 and around that time period. Last time I saw him was in 2010 World Series Hockey.
RIP Champion for the magical moments you have given to us fans and country !!!

PV Sindhu Scripts History, Becomes 1st Indian To Win BWF World Tour Finals
PV Sindhu made history on Sunday, becoming the first Indian to win the season-ending BWF World Tour Finals tournament. Sindhu came up against a familiar foe in Nozomi Okuhara in the title clash but unlike her previous meetings, the Indian superstar showed much more patience in her gameplay against the Japanese. This was critical to the Indian shuttler's cause as Okuhara was made to toil and given no breathing space as PV Sindhu claimed a 21-19, 21-17 win in the final for her first title of the year.
