FIH World Cup: Indian Team Has Quality And Depth To Achieve Top Four Finish, Says PR Sreejesh
The FIH Hockey World Cup: Just a few days before the start of the FIH Men's Hockey World Cup, former India captain and two-time Olympic medallist PR Sreejesh has listed the Indian team as a favourite to make it to the last-four stage and termed anything better than that as "a bonus".
India, winner of the 1975 World Cup, have not reached the semifinals for five decades. However, after failing to win an Olympic medal for four decades, the Indian men's team won a bronze medal in the 2020 edition in Tokyo and followed it up with a second bronze medal in Paris 2024.
Sreejesh said the Indian team has the quality and depth to achieve a top-four finish in the 16th edition, which will be held in Wavre (Belgium) and Amstelveen (the Netherlands) from August 14 to 30.
