From Ball Boy To Facing India: Indonesian Hockey Player Set To Take On Idol Hardik Singh

Indonesian player Ahdan Asasi Ramadhan, a former ball boy, will play against India at the Aichi-Nagoya Games, fulfilling his dream.

Eight years after serving as a ball boy during the 2018 Asian Games hockey matches in Jakarta, Indonesian midfielder Ahdan Asasi Ramadhan is set to realise a dream he has carried since then: playing against India.

Ramadhan, who was 19 at the time, took photographs with legendary Indian players Sardar Singh and Rupinder Singh during the Jakarta Games. Now 27, he will face India when the two teams meet in a Pool A match at the Asian Games in Aichi-Nagoya, Japan, on Sunday.
