With the Indian men’s hockey team winning bronze at Tokyo Olympics, it hasn’t only made them the side that everyone wants to beat. It has also made the Graham Reid-coached side fearless and at times invincible and they will look to put on another similar performance when they take on England in a double-header in FIH Pro League over the weekend at Kalinga Stadium in Bhubaneswar.
The team naturally doesn’t always begin every game in similar fashion and do fail to hit their top form from the very word go. They let in goals and fail to breach the opponents’ defences. Despite that, when they trail or are just a goal away from victory, the team fights on relentlessly. And on more than one occasion recently they have found the decisive goal at the very end.
