Great Chance For Indian Hockey Team To Finish On Podium In Next Year's World Cup: Vasudevan Baskaran

India need to draw confidence from their Tokyo Olympics campaign and forget the rout at the Commonwealth Games final to claim a podium finish in next year's men's hockey World Cup, feels former captain and coach Vasudevan Baskaran. "I believe they (India) can definitely finish on the podium in Odisha this time. They should move on from the CWG final loss to Australia and ride on the confidence they gained from the Tokyo Olympic Games," said Baskaran, who was the captain of India's 1980 Olympics gold medal winning team. "The team is in the good hands of Graham Reid and the support staff. I believe they have a sure shot at a medal." Baskaran stressed on the need to make a positive start against Spain in the World Cup to be jointly hosted by Bhubaneswar and Rourkela from January 13 to 29.
