Mohith HS Set for Senior India Debut at 2026 FIH Hockey World Cup
Karnataka goalkeeper Mohith HS, 24, is set to make his senior debut for India at the 2026 FIH Hockey World Cup in Belgium and the Netherlands. Initially an accidental goalkeeper in school due to his height, Mohith progressed through the ranks from the Junior World Cup to the senior team. He impressed during the FIH Pro League's final leg, earning his World Cup spot alongside experienced Suraj Karkera. Mohith credits former goalkeeper PR Sreejesh as an inspiration but emphasizes focusing on his own performance.
