Indian women's hockey team forward Deepika has won the prestigious Poligras Magic Skills Award.
The award is given for her outstanding individual skills and extraordinary goals in hockey, which was decided based on the votes of hockey fans around the world.
Deepika has become the first Indian player to win this award.
She scored an incredible field goal against the world's top team Netherlands in the FIH Hockey Pro League in February 2025.
India was trailing by two goals in that match, when Deepika scored this goal in the 35th minute by making a brilliant dribble from the left and breaking the Netherlands defense, which tied the match 2-2. Later India won this match in the shootout.
