Hockey in India

Indian Junior Women team held Netherlands to a draw is in itself a good for the future.

Indian women finish 3rd in the Hockey Pro League 2021-22 league table.

On Paper India should make it to the QF of FIH Women's World Cup 

If we finish 2nd in Pool B then match with S Korea should be a good match and we would face Argentina in QF which looks possible to tackle and face Netherland in SF, which no way we can be a match without Rani.

If we finish 3rd then face Spain which is tricky and then face mighty AUS in QF which should be curtains there.

 

Best option for India is Be 2nd in Group and path to SF is possible

If 3rd in Group then crossover itself looks difficult.

Never a fan of retiring a jersey number. Let young players dream of wearing the same jersey as their ideal.

But it's the respect. Legends jersey is always retired.
