Indian Women’s Hockey Team Concludes 2025 With Impressive Performances & Renewed Determination
Following their impressive victory at the 2024 Women’s Asian Champions Trophy in Rajgir—clinched with a close 1–0 victory against China in the final, the Indian team started 2025 with strong confidence and a reputation as one of Asia’s leading teams. However, maintaining that level of success consistently throughout 2025 proved difficult.
India started the year strongly with a five-match tour of Australia in late April, where the team gained important international experience against the Hockeyroos. Although the Perth series yielded mixed outcomes—losing the first two matches 2–0 and 3–2, and then securing a 1–0 win through Navneet Kaur’s 21st-minute goal—the tour was crucial for testing the squad against top-level opponents and giving playing time to new talents.
