The Shrachi Rarh Bengal Tigers have sent shockwaves through the Hockey India League (HIL) 2024 by securing the services of star forward Lalremsiami for a whopping Rs 25 lakh during the women’s auction in New Delhi on Tuesday. This signing further reinforces the team’s commitment to building a formidable offensive force, having already acquired experienced campaigner Vandana Katariya for Rs 10.5 lakh earlier in the auction.
Lalremsiami, a 24-year-old powerhouse, brings a wealth of experience to the table, having been a key player in several high-profile international tournaments. Her contributions to the Indian national team include a bronze medal at the 2022 Asian Games, a silver medal in the 2018 Asian Games, and a fourth-place finish at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. With 147 appearances for the senior team and 38 goals to her name, Lalremsiami is a proven goal scorer and a formidable presence on the field.
The addition of Lalremsiami to the Shrachi Rarh Bengal Tigers roster signals a clear intent to challenge for the HIL title. Her experience, skill, and goal-scoring prowess will be invaluable to the team’s success in the upcoming season. With the signings of both Lalremsiami and Vandana Katariya, the Tigers are well-positioned to become a force to be reckoned with in the HIL 2024. Fans are eagerly awaiting the start of the tournament to witness the exciting new chapter for the Shrachi Rarh Bengal Tigers, as they prepare to take on the competition with a strengthened and dynamic attacking unit.
