Oh no... Bajrang lost in final 

[Prashanth 157]

Japanese youngster was better than Bajrang though thought he should have been fouled out. The first instant was missed by referee. If he had warned for that he would surely be fouled out.

India was correct in playing Hockey Series rather than Hockey Pro league.

No, anyone that reads the format closely will arrive to this same conclusion: it makes absolutely no difference. Both indian teams have a high ranking so there's almost no chance they won't qualify for the olympic play-offs. Even if both teams finish last place in this hockey series they will still reach the play-offs 99% sure because there are some remaining spots that will be given by ranking. So hockey series doesn't matter for India.

 

 

The only actual difference is that while waiting for the play-offs your teams will be "warming up" with the likes of Mexico, Poland or Fiji instead of Netherlands, Germany or Australia if they were in the pro league....

True that we have lesser known teams, Have Sultan Azlan Shah to get that practice. I agree top class team matches would be missed by India in the run-up to the Olympics.

It's more of a danger for your women's team since they won't have any significant competition until then, while potential play-off opponents like China or USA will be in pro league gaining experience and good ranking points for the seeding.

Yaa very much correct, I am scared for them actually rather than men team. we need to get good teams for the international practice matches or else its going to be very difficult.
