Young India forward Abhishek is all set to make an impression at the FIH Odisha Hockey Men's World Cup 2023. The 23-year-old, who made his debut in the previous season of the FIH Hockey Pro League, said recently, "Playing for India at a home World Cup is a dream come true for me."

The next few months will be quite crucial for the Indian men’s hockey team, who are preparing for a home World Cup in January. Among those keenly eyeing the big stage is young Abhishek, who, if selected would have the honour of making his Senior World Cup debut at home, in Bhubaneswar. 

After a solid performance at the CWG 2022 in Birmingham, young Indian Men's Hockey Team forward Abhishek believes the tournament was a big learning experience for him. The young striker started in all six games and remained a threat inside the opposition's defense, helping India win silver medal.
