Who is Baljeet Kaur’s parents? Know everything about her mother and father

Baljeet Kaur was not an automatic choice for coach Janneke Schopman when she selected her 18-person tournament roster. However, three days into the new year, the team suffered a major setback when forward Vandana Katariya, a veteran of over 300 international matches, shattered her cheekbone during training and was ruled out of the competition. And just like that, 22-year-old Baljeet was thrown in the deep end. She isn’t a direct substitute for Vandana, who was a continuous threat inside the ‘D’ for India’s opponents; Baljeet, who looks up to former men’s team captain Manpreet Singh, serves as more of a playmaker who is lightning-quick in the midfield and a solid stopper during penalty corners.

“Baljeet is a very talented player,” Schopman states. “She has demonstrated over the last year that she is more than capable of competing in competitions. She traveled to Europe with the national team and played in several games, including the Asian Champions Trophy. She’s a quick player who works extremely hard and hopes to bring herself into the game. That is what I expect.” Baljeet Kaur (who was born on 22 March 2001) serves as an Indian field hockey player and a part of the Indian women’s hockey team. She is a Punjab native. In domestic hockey tournaments, she represents Indian Oil Corporation Limited. She performs as a midfielder. The only thing faster than a Baljeet Kaur in full flow is her quick ascension through the ranks. “I never thought I’d come this far,” says Baljeet, whose biological father is a Mason and who first learned about the sport from her cousin’s sister.
