Bharat Kumar Chettri (born 15 December 1981 in Kalimpong, West Bengal)[1] is an Indian field hockey player. He is the goalkeeper of the Indian hockey team.
Career
Chettri's professional career in field hockey began after he joined the Sports Authority of India's Centre of Excellence in Bangalore in 1998.[1] He made his debut in international hockey in 2001 playing in the Prime Minister's Gold Cup tournament in Dhaka, Bangladesh. He was first appointed the captain of the Indian national team in October 2011 for the four-nation Super Series and an international tournament in Australia.[2] He was the captain of the 18-member Indian squad at the 2012 Sultan Azlan Shah Cup in Malaysia, which won the bronze medal.[3] Chettri led the 16-member Indian hockey squad in the 2012 Olympic Games in London.[4]
Following poor performances at the Olympics, Chettri, Sandeep Singh and Shivendra Singh were dropped from the squad.[5]
