New Delhi [India], May 22 (ANI): International Hockey Federation (FIH) President Narinder Dhruv Batra on Saturday created a historic milestone as he became the first Indian to be elected as President of the FIH for the second consecutive term at the 47th FIH Congress.
Batra's victory was based on unanimous decision as he secured 63 votes out of 124 to edge past a tough opponent in Belgium's Marc Coudron, the only other candidate for the FIH Presidency at the Congress.
In 2016, Batra who was then an Executive Board Member of FIH as well as the Vice-President of the Asian Hockey Federation became the first Indian to head a global sports governing body when he replaced outgoing FIH President Leandro Negre, for a four-year term.
