The 29-year-old confirmed her decision to step down as a player from the sport as she is ready to take up mentoring role in the Women&#8217;s Hockey India League. Rani Rampal represented India in\u00a0254\u00a0matches scoring a total of 205 goals. Her contribution to Indian hockey is immense having made her debut back in 2008 at the age of only 14.  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p>She was the captain when the Indian hockey team created history in the Tokyo 2020 Olympics finishing fourth. &#8220;It&#8217;s been an outstanding journey. I never thought I would play for so long for India. I have seen a lot of poverty since childhood but my focus was always to do something, represent the country,&#8221; she said at the press conference. Rani Rampal was honoured with the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna award in 2020 while she is also the recipient the country&#8217;s fourth highest civilian award, Padma Shri.<\/p>\n<p>During her decorated career, Rani witnessed the rise of Indian hockey and is looking forward to a new role\u00a0with Soorma in the upcoming Women&#8217;s Hockey India League. In an exclusive interview to India TV recently,\u00a0 the two-time Asian Games medalist stated that she is excited to help the younger in the league. &#8220;It&#8217;s a new role for me and a challenging one for me as I always wanted to explore new things in my life apart from a player.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I will give my best in this new role and will share my experience with youngsters to help them in their development,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I definitely thought of participating in the league as a player but now I want to stay connected with a game as a mentor.\u00a0I have already fulfilled my role as a player but now it&#8217;s time to see how I do in this new mentorship role. New players need support, especially a mental one for the new emerging players in this league. I will look to help them in any way I can which will be good for this game,&#8221; Rani Rampal added.    <\/p>\n<div class=\"atmidvid\">\n<p><div class=\"youtube-embed\" data-video_id=\"DP9gMRl1eDY\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Rani Rampal Exclusive: Hockey India League \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0928\u090f \u0930\u094b\u0932 \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0928\u091c\u0930 \u0906\u090f\u0902\u0917\u0940 Indian Hockey \u0915\u0940 Queen\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DP9gMRl1eDY?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatvnews.com\/sports\/hockey\/rani-rampal-indian-hockey-legend-announces-retirement-set-for-new-role-2024-10-24-958677\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : PTI Rani Rampal Former India skipper Rani Rampal has announced retirement from hockey.
