Indian Men’s Hockey Team Prepared for Challenge Against Australia Before the Paris Olympics
The five-game series offers India an opportunity to measure their assets and capacities in front of the Paris Olympics.
The in-structure Indian men’s hockey group will hope to pass the “litmus test” that the considerable Australian side will present at home when the two go head-to-head in a five-match Test series starting in Perth on Saturday. The series offers India an opportunity to check their assets and capacities in front of the Paris Olympics. “This series fills in as a litmus test for our group’s readiness in front of the Paris Olympics. We mean to tweak our methodologies and distinguish regions for development to guarantee we are in top shape for the occasion.
“Our emphasis will be on executing our strategy successfully and adjusting to the difficulties presented by the Australian side,” boss mentor Craig Fulton said.
The away task offers the best opportunity for India to break their very long-term drought against Australia and secure a Test series win.
Outstandingly, India won the last away Test series against Australia back in 2014.
Straight from their amazing exhibitions in the FIH Star Association in February, the Indian crew, under the administration of Harmanpreet Singh, is moving toward this task with certainty.
India’s remarkable capacities and enduring assurance were apparent as they secured triumphs in three out of four matches in Bhubaneswar (inside guideline time) and stayed unbeaten in Rourkela (likewise inside guideline time). Be that as it may, they had lost both of their matches against Australia.
With the different sides attracted to a similar gathering at the Olympics, the Test series givesboth teams the ideal stage to check each other’s assets and shortcomings before a definitive standoff at the Paris Games.
“We are prepared for the test that lies ahead. Each match is a chance for us to showcase our abilities and do right by our country. We know about the extreme rivalry Australia presents; however, we are positive about our capacities and our arrangements,” chief Harmanpreet said.
“Collectively, we are not entirely set in stone to do everything we can on the field. We want to perform well in this series as well as learn and develop as a unit, establishing major areas of strength for our mission in the Paris Olympics.” India and Australia have conflicted on the hockey field multiple times since around 2013, as per information from the FIH Information Center.
Among these match-ups, Australia has emerged successful multiple times, while India has celebrated a win in eight games. Furthermore, seven matches have ended in a draw.
With India positioned fourth and Australia fifth in the ongoing scene rankings, the stage is set for a grasping fight between two hockey forces to be reckoned with.
Match begins at 2 p.m. IST.
