In September 2018, Sardar decided to call time on his illustrious career, saying that he had played enough in the past 12 years.

The former hockey captain made his international debut for India during their clash against arch-rivals Pakistan in 2006. Since then, Sardar has been a vital cog in the Indian team's midfield.

During his illustrious career, Sardar appeared in a total of 350 matches for India besides also leading the national side for eight long years from 2008 to 2016. He stepped down from the post in 2016 to hand over the role to PR Sreejesh.

Sardar, who also featured for the national side in two Olympics, was the youngest player to lead India when he captained the side during 2008 Sultan Azlan Shah Cup.

Sardar, who hails from Sirsa in Haryana, was also awarded with the prestigious Arjuna award in 2012 and Padma Shri in 2015.
