Mediocre show by men's team irks Narinder Batra, Hockey India
IOA chief seeks explanation from HIBENGALURU: The Indian hockey team, which won the bronze medal at the Tokyo Olympics last year, looks a pale shadow of the gritty team which fought its way to the podium. Post the glory senior players like Rupinder Pal Singh and Birendra Lakra decided to hang up their boots, making way for more juniors. With the podium finish, the expectations from the team have soared and on that count the team has faltered.
