India’s performances in both men’s and women’s hockey have improved over the last one and a half years, and proof of that was seen at the Tokyo Olympics last year. Especially the men’s team (Indian Men’s Hockey Team), who won a historic bronze medal at the Games. Since then, the expectations from the Indian team have increased. The CWG is going to be a big test of these hopes, where Team India will try to end the dominance of 6-time champions Australia. Team Vice Captain Harmanpreet Singh (Harmanpreet Singh) He also hopes that the team will be successful in stopping Australia this time.
