Young Blood, Silverware: Arjun Bakshi Leads India to Roller Hockey Glory

Arjun Bakshi, a 22-year-old from a family with a long history in skating, scripted history at the Asian Roller Hockey Championships in South Korea. His captaincy led the Indian men’s team to a hard-fought silver medal on August 6, 2025.

This win marks the end of a nine-year medal drought for the Indian team, a significant achievement for the young captain and the nation.

His talent has not gone unnoticed; he has secured scholarships to further his sporting career. The win underscores the potential of young Indian athletes and the need for continued investment in sports at the grassroots level. This victory is a much-needed boost for Indian roller hockey, inspiring a new generation of players.
