In the FIH Hockey Pro League 2021-22, the India vice-captain has an astonishing 18 goals from 16 games, including two hat-tricks.
With those 18 goals, he finished the season as India's top scorer and now owns the Pro League record for the most goals scored by a single player in a single season.
At the Asian Champions Trophy last year in Dhaka, Harmanpreet scored 8 goals in 6 games, scoring in every single game as India finished on the podium.
The FIH Player of the Year is Felice Albers of the Netherlands. The 22-year-old is the youngest recipient of the FIH Player of the Year award (women's category) since Natascha Keller of Germany (1999).
