Ishika Chaudhary, a Madhya Pradesh native, was born on April 15, 2000, and is a field hockey player and part of the Indian women’s hockey team. She represents Indian Oil Corporation Limited in domestic hockey competitions, and in 2022 she made her senior squad debut as a defender. At the MP Women’s Hockey Academy in Gwalior, Ishika received her foundational training. In the consecutive Junior Nationals held in Bhopal in 2016 and 2017, she did well for MP, and in 2017 she received a call-up to the National camp. She competed for the Indian hockey team in the 2018 Third Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where they took home the silver medal.

Ishika Chaudhary also participated in the Under-18 YOG qualifier, which was held in Bangkok in April 2018, where she scored three goals. She later participated with the Indian squad in the 2022 FIH Hockey Women’s Junior World Cup in Potchefstroom, South Africa, where the team placed fourth. Ishan, the brother of Chaudhary, works as a software developer and resides in Bengaluru. He was there to give his sister the official Asian Games jersey at a function held in a major hotel. A proud and happy occasion for the family, with the two siblings really enjoying it. A publication was told by Ishan, who is two years younger, that “she was very physically active compared to me.

” Our parents urged us to get outside and get some exercise, so we started going to play games. She came such a long way in a year. I [was aware] that I could never perform at that caliber. Ishika Chaudhary, mirroring Singh’s remarks about her skill in the game, grinned shyly at Ishan’s account of how rapidly she picked up the sport. While Chaudhary began her academy career in midfield, Singh found that her quickness allowed her to hone her defensive talents and switch between the two positions with ease.

International Career

During the FIH Pro League 2021–22 last year, she made her professional debut. She was also a member of the Asia Cup winning squad from the previous year. Because of the incredible talent coming through the junior ranks, Janneke Schopman, the senior women’s team coach, claims that there is intense rivalry for numerous positions. Chaudhary said that her initial year as an older player was uneven because she wasn’t a consistent starter for the senior squad. She remarked, “I was just playing, and there was plenty of battles and ups and downs.” “And important competitions like the Asian Cup, Commonwealth Games, and World Cup were approaching when I made my debut that year. It resembled a year of competition. Everyone aspires to triumph. So there were highs and lows.

Domestic Career

Chaudhary, 23, has dominated since being called up to the Indian junior women’s team in 2018. She served as deputy captain of the youth team that took fourth place in South Africa at the youth World Cup the previous year. Chaudhary has also competed in major tournaments, having taken home a silver medal in the 2018 Youth Olympic Games. However, the defender understands that being promoted from the junior to the senior squad involves more than simply a change in playing style; it also involves a mental adjustment. Having been a leader in the junior squad when she played, the environment changed when she joined the team with players like Chanu, captain Savita Punia, and Vandana Katariya, who had together played for the nation more than 200 times. Regarding her early days on the senior squad, Chaudhary remarked, “The senior players believed in me.”
