The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) announced Mr Manpreet Singh, the captain of the men’s hockey team, as a Flagbearer of Team India for the Opening Ceremony of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games alongside shuttler PV Sindhu.
The decision comes after the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) was intimated by the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games Organising Committee that two Flagbearers - one male and one female - must be named by each nation for the Opening Ceremony.
Notably, Manpreet led the Indian hockey team to a bronze-medal finish at the Tokyo Olympics last year. Earlier, Neeraj Chopra, gold-medalist at the Tokyo Olympics in Javelin was expected to be the hot-favourite to be India's flagbearer, but the 24-year-old was ruled out of the CWG 2022, owing to an injury.
