Having clinched a bronze medal in Tokyo Olympics, Indian men's hockey team will look to upgrade to gold in the upcoming Paris Games, said skipper Harmanpreet Singh.

Our goal is straightforward -- to upgrade the colour of the medal by aiming for gold," Harmanpreet said in a Hockey India release, reacting to their Paris draw.
