Hundal is part of a generation of young forwards developed through India's structured junior pathway, which includes the Sports Authority of India centres, junior national camps in Bengaluru, and age-group tournaments organised under Hockey India. Players in this pathway typically progress from sub-junior and junior national championships to the India under-21 squad before being considered for senior selection.
Hundal has featured in the India junior men's hockey team, taking part in international assignments associated with the Hockey India junior programme. As a forward, his role centres on attacking play inside the striking circle, penalty corner conversions and finishing chances created by midfield combinations.
He has also been associated with India's senior development squads, with appearances in tours and exposure series used by the national selectors to broaden the player pool ahead of major continental and global events.
As one of the younger forwards in the Indian hockey pipeline, Hundal represents the continuing effort by Hockey India and the national coaching staff to create depth in attacking positions, an area highlighted as a priority following India's bronze medal performances at recent Olympic Games.
