"It Wasn't Just A Win, It Was A Statement": Hockey India Head Coach After Reaching Semi-Finals

"It was not just a win, it was a statement," gushed head coach Craig Fulton after the Indian hockey team emerged victorious after playing more than 40 minutes of a tense quarterfinal match against Great Britain with just 10 players at Paris Olympics on Sunday. Key defender Amit Rohidas was given the marching order in the 17th minute for hitting an opposition player with his stick. Britain were already dominating the match with superior ball possession and it put India in a very tricky position. The Tokyo Games bronze medallist side, though, braved the red card and played the second half without conceding a goal, saving nine penalty corners in the process.

India captain Suryakumar Yadav, whose captaincy skills were on display during the first T20I against Sri Lanka, stated that he wants to classify himself as a leader and not as a captain.
