Rajat Sharma has been an integral part of this board and it gives me much satisfaction to have him supporting this organisation and hockey with his wisdom."
"His support in the first two editions is deeply acknowledged and we look at him continuing in the same vigour in terms of guiding us at crucial junctures."
The third season of the HHIL is scheduled to start from January 22 next year.
